Ichneumonidae probably Cryptinae

hello cthirion

I looked at the area you suggested ( very helpful) but I cant see and dont recall any white spots to the thorax or abdomen on this particular spp . It is most definitely an Ichneumon. Still fishing for a species if it is possible from the limitted phot

Best wishes

There are two species of Cratichneumon which have the ovipositor exsertile but I do not think that it is them, it is well a kind of the subfamily of Cryptinae because of the f?mur and the very thick tibia! ;)
