It is Therevidae, possibly Pandivirilia (melaleuca?).

No Pandivirilia, as the femora have a yellow apex. This is Cliorismia, and with the key https://home.hccn...#Cliorisma we have to decide whether the black markings of tergites 2 and 3 reach the front corner of the tergite or not. I'd say they do not reach it, so C. ardea.
