Some sort of robber fly -- perhaps Laphria flava?
Spotted in #Goettingen, Germany. Phone photos only, unfortunately.

CW: CW: creepy bug, also dead bug
I found a dead Beelzebub Bee-Eater (Mallophora leschenaulti) on the ground today! Poor bug has seen better days, but there's a remarkable new species for the life list.

Another shot of a gnat ogre (Holcocephala fusca), a type of small robber fly. Like other robber flies, these specialize in eating other insects. Central Park in late July.
