from datetime import datetime, time

def is_time_between(begin_time, end_time):
    # If check time is not given, default to current UTC time
    check_time = datetime.utcnow().time()
    if begin_time < end_time:
        return begin_time <= check_time <= end_time
    else:  # crosses midnight
        return check_time >= begin_time or check_time <= end_time

print(datetime.utcnow().time())

# Original test case from OP
print(is_time_between(time(10, 30), time(16, 30)))

# Test case when range crosses midnight
print(is_time_between(time(22, 0), time(4, 00)))
