Moved
My torymid contact says it is Torymus but that he isn't able to ID it to species.

Moved from Toryminae.

Right…
These are primary parasitoids of gall wasp larvae that originally invaded the gall. Could be Torymus, but I can't see enough details to confirm. Within the subfamily Toryminae in any event.

See reference here.
