Robber Fly

These actually kill other insects and are also known as bee killers. They have voracious appetites and will attack wasps, dragonflies and other bees, flies, and some spiders.

Thanks to Hans for this information.

Very cool shot Steve! I love it. This makes me want to get out my Sigma 180mm and start chasing some insects!

Nice one Fouche, some kind of a robber fly.
