Sounds like an Ichneumon Wasp.
Badger.

Not really much to go on here. Was it a 'normal' tail or long and thin, etc.
I'm also thinking Ichneumon here but one of the Crane Flies is also a possibility; maybe one of the Tipula family.
Going back to Ichneumons, did you also check the Ophion range? A form of sawfly is also possible. |

I'd agree, Ichneumon is most likely, then sawfly... |
