Meteorus? (Braconidae: Euphorinae: Meteorini)
It looks to me like a male wasp in the genus Meteorus, though the lower half of the wing is obscured, the petiolate abdomen is characteristic of the Euphoinae and what I can see of the wing venation is similar to the genus Meteorus. Was this taken at a blacklight?

This was at the porch light on the side of the house.
