It's a good mimic of a wasp with the white bands.

Looks identical
Every yellow mark is in the same place, the legs are yellow, and the wings are dusky, with a trace of rust on the inner edge. If it's not the same, then it's a really good mimic. Thanks Jonh and Jane.

The thumbnails completely fooled me.
