Hello, finally I managed to get a picture of one of these annoying flies, after it landed on my trousers. But the picture isn't at all good. On a second, even worse one, I could see some orange at the side of the abdomen. Is it possible to tell more than just Chrysops sp. after this photo, perhaps from the spot on the eyes. I found they match C. caecutiens, but also other species have yellow eyes with black spots... At forest border northwest Germany.

Hello Theo, Zeegers wrote: Your lucky day ! The legs are black, so caecutiens it is. wonderful, thanks a lot! Today I was again harassed by some very annoying flies at the same location. And again I managed to take a bad photo when one landed on my trousers. But surprise... This time it was Tabanus bromius if I see it correctly.
