For whatever reason, the sclerotic line that runs from the bottom of the anterior sclerome back and under the posterior sclerome is hard to distinguish in your full-sized photo and visible more as a crease.

Moved from Enicospilus.

Too few pixels for species confirmation.

Moved from ID Request.

Size
The recommendation is "You may submit an image of any size, but 560 pixels on the longest side is preferred." Elsewhere, I read "Do submit images in jpeg format, preferably 560 pixels on the longest side (if you submit a larger image it will be resized to 560 pixels)." These statements are contradictory, and the only images I see being cropped by editors are ones in which too much content other than the insect is included. For Ichneumonidae, 560 on the longest size is woefully suboptimal.

Hmmm
2256 X 1914 should not be a problem. Here is one that is 3072 X 2046:

I saved it with a lower quality lowering the file size from 3.4mb to less than 1mb and it uploaded fine. Apparently I missed a file size requirement...
