To me, it looks like a Hybomitra (though I can't say why!  ) Any other shots?

wings clear fall for Atylotus, Hybomitra, and Tabanus species. This is not Atylotus clearly. Tabanus has bare eyes. Hybomitra usually has 3 band in the eyes... maybe a Tabanus, or if not... an unusual Hybomitra. I'd say Tabanus for this one. |

Are ocelli present? That should settle the genus.

Let's get the species: Tabanus cordiger (thick palpi with white hairs, black antennae, borad frontal stripe with heartshaped spot, no eyebands). Theo |
