This small wasp (1-2 mm) I saw on a house wall where many Lasioglossum bees nest. Not sure if this is a parasitic wasp or not.
The head shape looks peculiar, so maybe an ID is possible.

Vienna, in early April

Hi Lorin, for me it looks like a Crabronidae, perhaps a very small Crossocerus sp.?

Greetings
