Potter wasp?

I don’t think this is a Potter wasp. The antennae don’t seem right and potter wasps usually fold their wings in half longitudinally when landed

Looks to be Trigonalidae almost certainly a Taeniogonalos see https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:da33bdd3-96a7-4586-be29-e40faa699bef#gallery
