From just north of Stockholm, Sweden today. ID? TIA! It's a female. I know because she tried to bite me and got a smack on the head. Sorry it's a bit dirty ...
Edit: Changed subject (Unknown Tabanidae)

Thnx Kahis. I have a photo of
T. bromius in the gallery and that is a lot browner. This is darker, almost black. Maybe the color varies that much ...

T. bromius would be my guess as well,
though not 100 % sure (it just could be maculicornis)
bromius is very variable, that explains the differences with the other picture.
