Pimplinae…
Males can be difficult to ID, but the slender, polished look, cylindrically depressed abdomen, banded leg patterning, and orange and black coloration seem to indicate a wasp in this subfamily.

Ichneumon wasp
This is some kind of ichneumon wasp. Notoriously difficult to ID beyond family.
