Parasitic Wasp Uk (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

I found an elephant hawk moth caterpillar in the summer and decided to keep it to hopefully watch it pupate and hatch.

I've just been in to check if it's hatched yet and found this wasp which is 23mm long.

Is it possible to id from this photo?

Edit: Is it amblyjoppa proteus? I've found that this is the only Ichneumoninae that parasitizes Elephant Hawk Moth.
