Some sort of wasp. Definitely not a velvet ant, those are velvety, and also a wasp.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.
However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:
Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

It is most likely a Braconid species.

You can edit your post. Just say [Deleted] or something like that in it. I think it's kind of silly not to be able to delete a post, but there's probably logic behind it all that I don't know about.

Braconid wasp for sure, head shape is pretty unique among apocrita. The download sloped head with the upper part tilted forward is something I haven't seen anywhere else.
