This was taken the day after. I think it is the same species.

Considering the region, this could be a Neoitamus species, probably Neoitamus socius (?).

Hmm. The ovipositor is too short for Neoitamis and so are the postorbital hairs. I'd still consider Machimus/Tolmerus the best bet. Could be Tolmerus atricapillus, some specimens have almost black femora.
