Here I show a very little robberfly. I photographed this fly today in a heathen landscape. Who can inform me which fly I photographed?

That, people, is why I love britons. David, will you marry me?

Best Wishes,
A fellow incurable punophile.

The name is: Tolmerus cingulatus (in older keys: Machimus cingulatus). Quite to very common in the landscape you described.

Perhaps it's praying because the photo is divine :o! Sarah
