You are getting a good variety of tabanids.
This one, I believe, is a Tabanus, either bromius or maculicornis

Yes, but only because I use my secret weapon :) I park my chinese fly-mobile in sunshine and wait for 15 seconds before the first fly will land on it's hot surface :) Has been very good bait for Tabanidae. Don't worry there is more to come when I empty my freezer :D

Tony is right. I thing this is T. bromius female, but I need Theo's confirmation of my ID :-( Libor

Hereby.
It looked a bit like maculicornis, probably the light
The shape of the alula clearly confirms bromius.
