how big was it? looks a bit small for a hornet, surely?

does look wasp-ish to me.

Here's a few links you might find vaguely helpful. I had some better ones a while back but can't find them...

Nice shot. :)

Looks like a Wasp possibly a Sand Wasp and it could be a member of the Bembix Genus. There are a lot of them apparently.
Was there any sand near by?
