Can I have an ID on this Horsefly found in Almeria Province
Andalucía Spain June 2022

---

I think it's a female Tabanus glaucopis.

from: Zeegers, Schulten (2022): Families of Flies with Three Pulvilli

Of course, this pretty guide is no longer valid in andalusia.

Please note the subcallus lacks black.

At close observatiin the eye seems to be hairy. Which would imply T. nemoralis, a spring species.

But in this case, the pretty guide was valid for Andalusia!
I knew ,I was skating on thin ice, but it could have been thicker if I only had studied the morphology pages and learned the subcallus!

Of course, you can use it at your own risk ! In this case with decent result, indeed.
