Robber fly

You have caught a robber fly eating breakfast.
Robber flies are predatory on other insects. The adults lay eggs on plant stems where the larvae eat other insects and their eggs.
There are many different species of robber flies in many different colors. You did not give size, but your specimen looks like the giant robber flies, genus Promachus. Here are some photos of them
