Ichneumonini (female)…
See reference here.

Ichneumonidae
One of the Ichneumonid wasps, another may be able to take further.

The pretty blue isn't captured as well in the live images.

 
Unfortunately
my camera could not capture her sparkly reflections in the sunlight plus constant movement. Hopefully I will get another chance some day. Joy
