I photographed this fly today feasting on one of its bretheren. Any ideas as to the identity of the cannibal and/or its lunch?

The predator is a
Scathophaga stercoraria (Scathophagidae). The lunch I don't know. Could be an Anthomyiidae.

Damn, I thought it was that but didn't realise they captured and ate other flies. Thanks for clarification.
