There is a good chance ...
... this is a diapriid (the antenna certainly look right). If you can see the head in profile, look for a "ledge" from which the antenna arises. That would confirm it being a diapriid.

How big is this one?
The legs suggest Scelionid or Platygastrid but the antennae suggest otherwise. I believe I have seen a Mymarid in the Genus Polynemia with legs like that. With the other fairyflies you have been collecting, that's my best guess for this one too if it is around the 1mm size.

This picture isn't very good for determining though. For parasitica, wing veination and antennae placement are real helpfull
