Possibly Braconinae
From this angle, there is a hint of what may be a concave labrum, and there is no occipital carina: both character states would point toward Braconinae. But I can't make out whether the forewing venation is complete.

Yes, you are right
Undoubtedly a brac. Regretfully, that's as far as I can take it.
