Not Spalangia
Not a Spalangia, and probably not a pteromalid. Spalangia has a conical pronotum:

Perhaps a eurytomid?

Yes, this is ...
..very likely a eurytomid.

Tom
I've seen another photo of a fly with beaded antenna like this. It's not the same but maybe will lead you in the right direction?

Beaded antenna
That part is the same, but I'm still at a loss to get it to family, so I'll just put it under wasps for now. Thanks again Lynette.
