I believe this beautiful little wasp might be Colpotrochia trifasciata but we are a bit west of its range according to the BugGuide map. I hope the photos can confirm its true identity.

Colpotrochia trifasciata
Thanks so much for confirming the identity of this ichneumon wasp as Colpotrochia trifasciata, Ross! I'm glad the photos were good enough to determine what is was.
