Looks right to me as well--the white shoulders are the tell. Thanks again.
No common name but the ID looks right to me. Here is more info:

I think you may be on the right track, Irene; thanks. The yellow shoulders on the thorax are throwing me off though.
I would say it is some kind of Sphecidae, subfamily of Sphecinae (digger wasps). I'm not sure, however.
