Unknown wasp - Symmorphus albomarginatus

Unknown wasp - Symmorphus albomarginatus
Elkton, Douglas County, Oregon, USA
September 24, 2008
Size: approx. 3/8 inch
I was thinking this might be a Mason Wasp, but hesitate because the abdominal patterns don't quite match. It also seemed a bit smaller than other Mason Wasps I remember seeing.

Help in ID would be greatly appreciated.
