Found in Brasil, state of São Paulo, in the interior. Lokks like a Tabanid but I have no idea of the species.
(hope the image shows up this time)
Thanks,

What's wrong with this forum? The image has a good type, size and name.

Nothing wrong with the forum. :P Send it to me by email and I'll see what the problem is.

Looks like
Atylotus sp. but I may be wrong. Any ideas?

There aren't any described
Atylotus in South America. My general impression is that it is
Stenotabanus (
Stenotabanus) sp., but without a closer shot of the wing base I can't rule
Tabanus or a few other genera. There is no key to male
Stenotabanus, unfortunately. Do you have any more photos of this or other Brazilian horse flies? I'd love to see them.

Unfortunately I don't have any other shots. And returning to Brazil now... The one thing I can say is that the fly was eveywhere and there was no cattle around.
