This is not one of the more common species, it seems, as browsing on bugguide yielded no exact matches for dark, short head with pale yellow legs (though the physical variation within species makes matching to still photos difficult). What we do know is that this one hunts flies, and that 2 year olds (this one, anyway) have no innate fear of wasps.

What's it dragging along?
A housefly, it seems. I know some species of wasp will specifically target certain species of prey, but a number of predatory wasps are generalists as well, so knowing the prey in this case didn't help me in the ID.
