proabably a hornet
its a good thing he didnt get stung because man do they hurt =[
Might have been a horntail. They come in several color patterns. The long thing in the back isn't a stinger but rather an egg-depositor.
Here's a fair picture and article, remember they color can be yellow w/ black stripes as well:
