Hello! Hanging down from an umbelliferous plant yesterday (northwest Germany), it does not seem likely that the smaller fly is the female of this 10 mm Empis livida (?)

E. livida, probably on E. nuntia.

This cannibalism is probably the reason of the offrand of the male to the female to be able to copulate without being eaten, isn't it?
