Hi @Woodwasp this may be a Xoridinae, the downturned ovipositor is the clearest feature. But given they are not known at all from this area I think it is safer to leave it in Ichneumonidae. I would need clearer images of the wing venation and the form of the antennae. A clearer dorsal view of the thorax would also help if you see it again
