Euodynerus?
Looks like one I shot: http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/hymenopt/Euodynerus/Euodynerus2.htm

This is indeed Euodynerus (female)
One of the stout, extensively yellow species of this large (and difficult) genus.
Strongly reminding of Mediterranean species of the dantici-group.

Thanks!
Thanks for confirming Ron's identification! This is a new species for me.
I've updated to post to indicate that the wasp is female.

Seems likely
Thanks, Ron! It sure does look the one in the link. Let's see if we can get expert confirmation.

I do figure that either you or Hartmut has likely photographed any bees, wasps, or bee flies I might come across. I didn't know where to start with this one, though...

Wasps are tough, and it's often hard to get IDs.
