Ichneumon Wasp - Enicospilus - Female
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA

Based on Kaufman's photo and Peterson's wing venation diagram, I have little doubt this warbler is in the genus Ophion. I am guessing, however, it's female.

I don't think this is Ophion but the picture is too small for me to get a clear look at the wing.
