Identification to genus or species possible?

I photographed several different chrysidid wasps recently in Italy. All were in the vicinity of Teruzzi (PC) on the lower part of M. Menegosa, around 1000 m. The attached image is from 1 July 2019. The wasps were never still so my images are not good quality and I suspect that important features may not be visible. Is the colour pattern alone any use for identification? I would be very grateful for any help!

Ciao Paolo! Grazie mille! That's great, I'm very happy you could see enough to identify to species. The problem for you is that I have more images of three or more different species! I will post these, one at a time, very soon. Thanks again, and thanks also for the positive comment about the image.

Hi,
really nice shot! I saw this species several times this season (last time two days ago).
But I hadn't any chance to get reasoable pics. So it's good to see a pic like this!
All the best Paul
