He is a rather curious looking wasp - I am used to wasps having wide strips of alternating black and yellow, but on him the yellow strips act more as accents. Just a fine edge on each of the sections of his abdomen, and a little bit of eyeliner, and some racing strips on the thorax.
Most of my google search results for a while were for wasp exterminators, so it took me a while to figure out what he might be. It looks like a potter wasp is one possibility.

(I think he looks more like the title picture of the Eastern Yellowjacket (2nd picture), but not like the contents the link of the picture leads to http://www.cirrusimage.com/hymenoptera.htm )
