Yet another dangerous blood sucker! Very lage fly (about 20mm), found in a mountaneous region, Portugal. Tabanus sudeticus ?

Thanks,

Joaquim Gaspar

It is a big Tabanus, but there are many of those.

I'd need to see more details. Dorsal shot would help, as would a ventral.

Thank you again, Theo. Here is a dorsal view.

It is a big TAbanus, but it does not look like sudeticus.
Much too orange.

Most likely Tabanus tinctus.
