a Leaf-footed Bugs sp?
Small, body about 10mm long.
Upturned abdomen..
An antenna segment sometimes bulging (like in pic 3) and sometimes not (as in pic 1), ebables it to better sense what's around?

Watched this fly rob the eggs/pupae from the small black ants as the ants were carrying them along their path, possibly moving them from their nest to a more suitable place. The fly would sit on the brick paving and watch the ants move along their path, when the ants carried a pupae it would fly up at it and take the pupae from the ants, return to its sighting site on the paving and eat the pupae. In the picture you can see the fly eating the pupae. It did this multiple times but it was difficult to get pictures as it was very active.
