I have not good look with Chrysididae identification (anyone identified), but I try it with this one that I never seen before, a red-headed one.
Last Saturday. La Pe?a, Huesca, NE Spain, 500 meters, very warm day, in a zone with grasslands and Quercus ilex, in Euphorbia flowers.
Size: about 9 mm.

Can be identified?
Thanks.

Look at these galleries: http://www.chrysi...photos.php, or http://www.thais....i/ind1.htm
I think that Chrysura cuprea (Rossi, 1790) is the best candidate! :)
