Hi Wendy, this could be a few genera and I can’t see it well enough to be sure of the ID. Cheers, Jon

It looks a lot like our description of Calopompilus affectata (Spider wasp). I don’t know this taxon well & I can’t see enough of the abdomen to confirm the two uppermost segments are orange (though it does appear so on the very right-hand side if you zoom in & look closely). I might see if @MichaelMulvaney can have a look for us.

“Large spider wasp. The forewings are orange with a black apex and a black subapical band. The body, including the head, is covered with a silvery pubescence on a base colour of black, except for the top of the first two abdominal segments which are orange. The appendages - legs and antennae - are orange.”
