Thanks for the ID
Hi Bob,

Thank you very much for the id on Bugnet. The reason I had originally thought it was a wasp mimic was I only saw one pair of wings and what I thought were haltares. Here is another image that I cropped and drew an arrow to what I thought was a haltare.I would appreciate your thoughts.

I posted the image with the other two, I had posted earlier.

Thanks,

Jay Smith

 
Gizmoid
Not sure what the gizmoid that your arrow points to is. The character I find interesting is the transverse striations on the mesoscutum. These are also found in rhyssine ichneumonids, and several of those share the Tremex columba with Ibalia anceps.

Looks like a cynipoid
from the family Ibaliidae

flys don't have the three ocelli
