I have a mystery WASP!

El Prado, NM

Can anyone help identify this mystery WASP? It loves the native milkweed and just kept moving from flower cluster to cluster! It's very large - at least an inch long or maybe an inch and a quarter! Very black body and the wings are patterned in browns and soft golds. Note the very long hind legs! I found this wasp in my yard here in Northern New Mexico, in the El Prado area.
