Thread-waisted wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus

Thread-waisted wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus
Belfair State Park, Mason County, Washington, USA
July 16, 2017
My guess for this insect would be Great Golden Digger Wasp or Sphex ichneumoneus. I have pictures of several thread waisted wasps all this size but which are different enough that I finally decided to turn to you guys to see if I could pin down some id's. I was pretty sure about this id until I found a few more that are very similar but different enough to cause consternation. The plant is Queen Anne's Lace or Daucus carota. As always keep or frass the photos at your discretion.
