A tiny wasp - chalcid?

Moved

Megaspilidae?
It isn't a chalcid. I would guess it is a Megaspilid because it looks to have a real strong stigma. It would be nice to have a side image to see the metasoma and face. The scape of the antennae support this group as well. Do you happen to have any other images of this wasp?

 
I'll check,
but I have a feeling this was one of those shoot-and-there-it-goes shots, because if I'd gotten another view, I generally would have posted it. Thanks!

 
Megaspilus?
The hairy eyes may be good enough to put it in that genus. I am curious what others will have to say on this.
