Confirmed...
The presence of a subtriangular prepectus and the axilla extending forward past the tegula also helps in this ID. This is a female eulophid based on the clubbed antennae.

See reference here.

Furthermore...
... the parallel lines on the scutellum and lack of postmarginal vein mark this as the subfamily Tetrastichinae.
