My SIL gave us a new Hummingbird feeder yesterday. This morning I was looking out the storm door and noticed what I thought was a small moth on the side. I went outside to find the biggest hornet EVER. It's hinder parts look like a yellow jacket and the front had the coloring of a red hornet. His wings are grayish and almost as long as his body. Anyone know for sure what kind it is????

Here's a photo...
