Might be a Gelis sp (Ichneumonidae).
Some of the females are wingless.

Hi Maherjos & tristram,
For a Ichneumonoidea there are too few antennal segments. This apterous wasp is a Chalcidoidea. Family Pteromalidae subfamily Diparinae. Dipara petiolata is a species I've seen before and looks quite similar. I don't know if other Diparinae and/or Dipara look similar.
Greetings,
Ectemnius
tristam, Ectemnius. Very grateful to both for your help.
Ectemnius, I searched the web for what is identified as Dipara petiolata, and in fact I found some very similar images.

If for your part there is no problem, I will use that identification to identify my search to attract the attention of other specialists who also want to give us their opinion.
I also inform you that I have the insect collected, and I can send it to the specialist who wants to study it in more detail.
Best regards from southern Spain
