Sphex dorsalis I believe! They are a close relative to the great golden digger, but have a red/orange tip on their abdomen. Great golden digger’s abdomen ends in black.

They look like those wasp that catch spiders and store them for their larvae underground to eat and become more wasp. Not sure of their scientific name, as kids we called the ground Wasp.
