Eutolmus rufibarbis, I would say. The ovipostor (it is a female) is laterally flattened, and the dorsocentral bristles on the thoracic dorsum are not present at the front.
Theorically ovipositor is also somehow narrowed even in
Machimus complex. Of course here is greatly compressed.
But is the overall shape of this female that made me converted to your idea about
Dysmachus complex (which for some authors includes
Eutolmus sp.). The kind of constriction in the ventral surface of the ovipositor really reinforces
E. rufirbarbis ID (+ scarcity of acr & dc pre-sut.).
