Yes, likewise - I would love to be able to identify more precisely. ;) The difficulty is that even quite large groups (ie. subfamilies) are distinguished using very tiny features, such as the shape and length of fine grooves and ridges on the thorax or abdomen, which are not clear enough on photos. It would take an expert who had worked in the field of braconid wasps to be able to say more precisely which sub-family, tribe or genus these belong to. :(
