Tabanus bromius group. Do you have any other pics?

Just a close-up on eyes.

Does it help?

Thank you.

No, I need to see a wing. Maybe Theo will help. It is bromius or maculicornis.

WEll, there is little to go on (nice frontal shot thank you!), but I don't see any reason why this is NOT Tabanus bromius, so using Ockham's razor that is what it might be for now.
