It might be in the Discoelius genus, I'm not sure

Could it be Mason Wasp - Monobia quadridens?

Looks good to me, ceejaytown. There are soooo many wasps... I noticed the one site has a whole section of "inconnu" wasps - French for unknown, lol. Hopefully, someone will come along here and shed some light...

Here's another shot. Sure looks like a positive ID to me.

I agree, you have a Mason Wasp (Monobia quadridens) in the family Vespidae.

Please enter it into the BugFiles,
