Great picture. It's called a Robber fly. That particular fly appears to be eating a House fly. Robber flies are harmless to people and pets.

Robber flies do not "sting," though they can bite with their piercing proboscis if mis-handled (just leave them alone to begin with and there is no potential for hard feelings from either party). Robber flies do not nest. They lay eggs in rotting materials and leave.
