Dioctria is correct, bu certainly no D. atricapilla, which has completely black legs. No identification to species level possible in your case because of the dorsal view. Pictures of robber flies should be taken in lateral view.

Greetings, Danny Wolff

PS: It is always helpful to know the location, where the picture was taken.
