It looks to me like a spider wasp of some sort but I can't find a match anywhere. Maybe it's something unusual?

Yes it keys to a spider wasp and is quite distinctive, but I can’t find a good match yet

I hope someone can identify it to species. Even if the photos are not great they show the wasp quite well and, as you say, it is quite distinctive.
