Braconid Wasp - Homolobus

Braconid Wasp - Homolobus
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
October 19, 2014
The body and wings seem pretty visible, so I thought I'd close in on the antenna. While the detail isn't great somewhere towards the last third the segments seem to rapidly get smaller.

Male, don't you think?
Thanks again, Bob!

Complete lack of a visible ovipositor makes me think this is a male. If you disagree I can revert it to non-specified sex.

Sex
I don't know what kind of braconid this is, and if it is one that has a short ovipositor, one couldn't know what the sex is.
