Yes...
The slightly decurved and extended length of the ovipositor, elongated, cylindrical abdomen becoming dorsolaterally compressed apically, and elongated hind coxae place this female wasp in this subfamily.

See reference here.

Maybe.
Definitely something close to the genus Rhyssa, if not that genus. Very fine image.
