Lovely photo! :)
Well, I have done a (little) bit of work with chalcids and it certainly looks like a
Torymus sp. :D but they're a horrendously difficult genus to key out... I have the key and probably tried it twice before giving up! :@
Many of the torymids are parasitoids of galls - eg.
T.nitens/auratus, which attacks the "Marble Gall" (
Andricus kollari) found on Oaks.
