Campoplex?
Looks like it may be Campoplex, but a better view of the petiole might help me to be sure. This image appears sharp enough that more pixels could be helpful. Instead of 560X560, I would suggest 1120X1120 or bit more. I resent the Bug Guide instruction: " Try reducing your image so that it's 560 pixels on the longest side." For Ichneumonidae, more pixels than this are always preferable.

Unfortunately these shots are heavily cropped to fill the frame with our subject. However I have added some more imagery to try and help. The pix get soft at 100% I suppose due to the tiny apertures I'm using to max the depth of field. Thanks
