Original Title: Ornate Tabanid from Chennai - INDIA

Visitor to porch, attracted to tubelight.
Body length lesser than 1 cm, IIRC
Location: My farmland near Chennai - INDIA.
Date: 2018-Oct-15 9:46 to 9:48 PM

An Indian Entomologist (facebook) had suggested In/nr Chrysops sp. based only on a small dorsal view.
I'm additionally posting here anterior and lateral view.

Please suggest/provide ID.

Thanks.
