Thread-waisted/digger wasps (family Sphecidae). There are several species that can have this general color pattern; see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/32783205 and http://www.opsu.edu/Academics/SciMathNurs/NaturalScience/PlantsInsectsOfGoodwell/sphecidae/sp11.html for some examples.

They appear to be in the same family, but I cannot see enough detail to hazard a more specific i.d.
