Sawfly? - Onycholyda sitkensis

Sawfly? - Onycholyda sitkensis
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
April 27, 2009
Size: approx 10mm
I'm not sure if this can be identified...I think it's a Sawfly, but I'm not positive.
Found crawling around some Himalayan Blackberry, Rubus armeniacus leaves. Was very active, almost like a hunting wasp.

Moved from Onycholyda luteicornis.

The original ID was correct. O. luteicornis would have black antennal bases and hind femora rather than unicolor as in this specimen. Also, O. luteicornis is an eastern species that should not be found in Washington.

 
What about this one?
