Is this a figwort sawfly?

Newbury, United Kingdom

At first glance I guessed this was a figwort sawfly (Tenthredo scrophulariae), but the waist seems too pronounced and there are brown as well as black stripes. Scale in mm - it might have shrunk, as I found it dried out on a window-sill.

Definitely not a sawfly of any type; it appears to be in the superfamily Vespoidea.
