Strong dorsal antennal tooth, third antennal segment clearly orange and abdominal triangles are short, so it looks like a male sudeticus to me.
Upper facets in eye should be strongly enlarged in that case.

Thank you Theo!
Trying hard to see myself what you explained, I went back to the place where I had found the Tabanus. It was there. It is 14?C here and first I thought it was sleeping, but it was partly eaten. Unfortunately the Antennae are broken. But the eyes show facets of different size
With regards from Switzerland

Yeap, clearly enlarged upper facets. SO no bovinus, but sudeticus.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
