I'm trying to figure out what kind of wasp this is. Would it be in the genus Euodynerus? A second image is being added for ID help. Thanks.

Genus Ancistrocerus (male)
Despite excellent quality of both these pics, telling the species is more tricky. A. waldenii would seem to be the best match, but I can't rule out A. catskill.
Dr Buck's expertise is needed.
