Robber fly (Asilid sp.) with fly

While watching several medium-sized Sphecid wasps on some old wood, this small robber fly landed with an even smaller fly it had caught. I managed to get a few shots, but the light was very bright and the photos are not great, unfortunately. But it does give a reasonable view of this robber fly. There were quite a few insects around the garden today, several of them new for our FWG Insect list.
