Size?
Do you remember the size of this specimen?

Based on this picture, it seems to have only one visible alar sclerite so it's not E. purgatus. It also doesn't fit the three most common members of the Enicospilus-americanus complex which is why I am interested in the size.

Size unknown
Unfortunately, nobody remembers the size and we do not have any other photos that might give an indication of size.
