I would guess one of the Ichneumon wasps. They have thin "waists" like a mud dauber; it's hard to tell in this pic.

I have struggled mightily with the identification. I think it may actually be some sort of wasp, so it may be a bit off topic here. However, I would appreciate any takers as to its identification. Whatever it is, it is a real eye-grabber, especially the antennae !!
