that looks more like the colour of the hornets we get around here, than the other darker one you showed earlier. This is the type that make those huge nests pictured on my gallery.

Carol, this is not a spam thing, but check out bugguide.net. This is where I get a lot of my identifications. You can also post your pictures on there. I have quite a few on there. It's a giant taxonomy of amatures and professionals. My favorite site.
