Spider wasp - Priocnemis minorata - female

Spider wasp - Priocnemis minorata - Female
Block Island, Washington County, Rhode Island, USA
April 29, 2016
I observed the wasp trying to move the spider for a few minutes before finally beginning to drag it. I saw several dead spiders (which all looked like the same species to me) along the path so I'd imagine this wasn't the only spider wasp in the vicinity…

Please let me know if an additional angle is needed for an ID. I have several other pictures of the wasp from other angles.
