This female Tabanidae took a bite of me. That was the last thing she ever did. From today just north of Stockholm. Any chance of an ID?

Edit: Changed subject (Tabanidae sp)

Hybomitra sp., Tabanidae. Hybomitra has small 3-d eye (don't know English term) and stripped big eyes.
For species level you have to wait for Theo.

A typical female of H. bimaculata (thanks, Nikita).
Broad vitta on tergites and notopleural lobes dark.
For a real ID with keys you would need to see the head in front view.

Eyes with shades of reddish
