Greater Banded Hornet

Thanks so much Bayucca

Vespidae, Vespa sp., I would say and probably Vespa tropica, quite a common wasp in your area. There is another similar one: Polistes sagittarius, but looking at the shape of the body segments and colors I would rule out this. The yellow band is quite sharply restricted:
