Hello! Unfortunately this photo is the "best" among many others depicting a voracious fly probably Empididae having a hapless one which seems to be Stratiomyiid. Dense vegetation and brushland at montane region in Hungary. (9th of May 2008) eguzki attached the following image:  [76.65Kb] Greetings, Tomi |

Actina chalybea seems for me a good candidate for unlucky prey

I'd say that the Empis is close to E. femorata. Don't know which species of the group are present in Hungary.
