I know very well that chalcidoids are not easily recognisable from photos, but one of my literature depicts a very similar species called Syntomaspis druparum although according the Fauna Europaea it is an invalid taxon and the accepted genus name is Torymus now. This species lays its egg into the seeds of apple, pear, sorb and haw, but neither of them were nearby. Its ovipostor quite distinctive, bends upwards. I hope someone can give me more informations about this nice wasp.

Sara is right with Torymidae, probably Torymus sp. - but without further details from the habitus and/or the host I fear it's not possible to determine the species!?
