Hi,
yesterday, 2019-04-28, I observed a yellowish fly sitting on a dark one, which obviously was not amused ... The yellow one should be Scathophaga stercoraria, right? The dark one, well ... I do not know.
Germany, Northwest, near Oldenburg, at a meadow.
Thanks for verification!
Thomas

Yes, the dung fly is
Scathophaga stercoraria, and its prey appears to be a
Calliphora species, probably
C. vicina
