Orange and black sawfly? - Strongylogaster impressata

There were about 6 of these wasps flying around a rotten stump. Could this be Strongylogaster sp. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Dave,

Thank you for help with the ID. When I looked at the guide I was leaning toward impressata. Thanks for confirming my suspicion.

Hope you'll consider coming to Bug Swarm at Madera Canyon in July.
