Hi Ray Perry,
I'd say Eulophidae - probably the same issue regarding species ID as with chalcid wasps in general and the pteromalids in particular (referring to your other post).
Best regards,
Marc

Thanks Marc
It really helps me just to know the family, even if it's "possibly", because then I can read up more about the little fella.
Warm Regards
Ray

It's Pteromalidae subfamily Miscogasterinae. Perhaps a
Lamprotatus species?
