about 15mm in length, clear wings, black and golden hair; eyes not striped.

Seen today in my garden in Liechtenstein. Thanks in advance for your help!

By the way, how can I attach a second image?

Hi, it belongs to the Tabanidae - if you change your thread's title accordingly you will get the species name very soon.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

I believe I have found the species: it is tabanus bovinus, female.

I have just retrieved a key to European horse flies which allows to determine this fly as tabanus bovinus (due to the slim body, the brownish colour, the size, the face marks, the form of the antennae). It closely resembles T autumnalis, which would, however, be larger, thicker and mostly greyish.

By the way, thank you Eric for directing me towards the tabanidae!

Please check my book on Homeodactyla, ID as bromius is straightforward.
