I am not 100% sure of the species ID suggested above. (I'm not an expert). However, I do think it is a Promachus sp. one of the Giant Robber Flies.

Welcome to Project Noah, William26! Thanks for sharing your first spotting.

It could be a Triorla interrupta, it's eating a species of Syrphidae btw. It's definitely a robber fly(Asilidae family). https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/61658-Triorla-interrupta
