Size 4-5 mm. That one was sitting on the grass before the rain had started (again), I saw others flying.

With the brownish impression I'd opt for Eudorylas.

Many thanks Jere and Paul - I'll check pterostigma.

The short abdomen relative to wing length and dense dusting suggest Eudorylas to me. |

Additional images (made indoors) - maybe this would help.

Eudorylas is as far as i can go despite the excellent images, need specimen and probably dissection to get to species. |
