Campopleginaeā€¦
The black and red coloration, slender first abdominal segment, laterally compressed abdomen apically, and lack of an ovipositor indicate a male wasp in this subfamily.

See reference here.

Ichneumon wasp
This looks to be an ichneumon wasp. Not a gasteruptiid, because it lacks the swollen "ankles" on its hind legs.
