Hello,
Don't you think it could be a winged ant?

Many thanks Paul (that was my unvoiced suggestion).

According to Jeroen de Rond (who is specialized in Dryinidae and Bethylidae) this is a female of
Goniozus. To be more specific:

Many thanks Jan Willem (hope to make more decent shots soon, I believe they are quite numerous there) - I'll follow your advice Paul

Lovely photo. Bethylidae were one of my favourite groups when I dabbled in Hymenoptera but I only found 2 and gave up from lack of specimens!!
