Moved
Moved from Euodynerus. Clearly E. foraminatus because of the coarse punctures at the apical margin of the terga and the distinct reflex of tergum 2. The hairing character of the femora refers to the ventral surface of the fore femur which is not visible here.

Moved from ID Request. These IDs sure help to clear out a lot of unidentified wasps that I had photographed. Thanks!

Euodynerus sp. - male
I'm wavering between E. foraminatus or E. blakeanus, just like with the female you posted previously. Slender outline, shining urotergites I & II and seemingly hairless fore femora make me lean for the latter species, but Dr Buck's expertise is needed.

Potter Wasp, possibly Euodynerus foraminatus
Euodynerus foraminatus looks very similar to me, but I've been off on these before.
Best to wait for more opinions.
Nice shot by the way!
