Family Gasteruptiidae is correct, but the genus may not be Gasteruption; could be Pseudofoenus.

I agree, the hind leg & the head and antennae look like a Chalcid Wasp.

@AaronClausen thankyou for the update. It wasn’t really a request to change anything on my behalf, more that I thought the platform was doing something that @kasiaaus has pointed out that it isn’t (though it would be good if it did).
I thought a Verified sighting would sit in the verified taxon, but if an additional Suggestion was added it would also plonk it back into the Unverified list (I didn’t realise it was one or the other).
So looks like I’ve now got a pile of Family-level or Genus-level ID’s Verified for you, but also have a pile of Genus-level or Species-level Suggestions sitting there that no one is going to see unless they go through the Field Guides like I have also been doing.
I’m so sorry, it looks like it was kind of a pointless endeavour based on an assumption of me doing what I thought was required which is obviously not the case.
I know now, so I guess I’ll just add commentary at higher taxonomic level with a suggestion in future & leave it Unverified.
Sorry to have mucked things up.

Thank you for the incredible moderation work and expertise you bring @DiBickers

Just to reinforce, the system is definitely not set in stone and even 13 years in we continue to learn and find opportunities to improvement. So please continue any suggestions and discussions around system improvement. We will look at this, but there is a bit going on at the moment, so can't promise a fast turnaround, but suggestions are always taken on board and often actioned if it makes sense.
