Robber Fly with prey

Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.

 

Possibly Atoniomyia sp.? If I remember correctly this was in the 8-10mm range. Prey is some sort of hemipteran.

 

Single exposure, moderately cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
