Feeding on Secondary Consumers in an ecosystem will cause for you to be classified as a Tertiary Consumer (also known as a 3rd order consumer), and will be, by necessity, a carnivore.
Another way to think of this is in trophic levels, where the producers will be of the First Trophic Level, standard herbivores of the second, the first-order carnivores for herbivores the third, and the organism defined by this question the fourth.
