Correct, it's a Tabanid. A male Atylotus sp. These are tough to get any further but . . . . |

Thank you. I overlooked the pic in the gallery - for me not similar enough to be sure . . . |

I'd go for male Tabanus maculicornis, you can see the long hairs on the occiput. In Atylotus, only sublunaticornis has these, which is smaller and without reddish sidemarks on the abdomen. Theo |
