Hopefully, Miss YC can confirm.

Yeah.....Head is too wide at the back to be any kind of wasp. When we saw the first I thought it may have been some kind of non native wasp....but I didn't think that when I got close. We used to get lots of hornets bothering the horses when I was younger and I can say with absolute certainty......they were nowhere near as big as this...lol
