Three day ago I spotted this pair on a leaf of the horse-radish. As I can guess, the eating is a female of Hybotidae, but the prey is out of my reach. Some help?

The meal is a female Drosophila, the diner is a female Platypalpus.

Paul, thanks for ID! Funny thing with this situation is that the hybotid is standing only on two legs (I have pics from other angles) supporting the front by the prey body
