I guess that this is a sphecid wasp and I understand that males have curved antenae, but this is ridiculous.

Spider wasp
This is a very worn and tattered pompilid, Entypus unifasciatus. Note the serrations (teeth) on the hind tibia. This is a characteristic of pompilids in the subfamily Pepsinae. The orange antennae and orange patches on the forewings are typical of this species.
