I suppose this fly belongs to the family Tabanidae?
The problem is that I can?t find which Tabanida it should be. Does anyone know it?s name? Sorry for the bad picture, the wind made it difficult to make a better one.

Thanks a lot Amalia.
I think you're right. Today I went back, trying to make some better pictures.
This is also Eristalinus aeneus?

The only thing; this species is until now only found near the coast but these species were found in the south-east of the Netherlands.

The male in the upper photo is Eristalinus sepulchralis (dull median parts of tergites, abdomen not entirely glossy; eyes don`t meet). As to the female I am not certain, but it could well be E. sepulchralis, too. Ask Andre or Gerard Pennards for confirmation (use the Syrphidae forum).
Regards, Sundew
