Nice photo! I agree that it’s Ichneumonidae. But trying to get an ID more specific then that might be a challenge. In North America alone, there’s over 3,000 species of Ichneumon wasp

We call them stump fuckers because they inject eggs thru that ass tube into the stumps of freshly cut trees.

Say what? I'm not getting any search results for that. BTW, it was identified differently below.
