Hello,
I found this big one (22 mm) in my garden. Is it a female of
Tabanus sudeticus ?
The first four pictures are taken with flash. The fifth picture is taken without flash to show the color of the eyes.
Spa, Belgium, 22-06-2017.
Thanks
Christine

Hi,
You're absolutely right, T. sudeticus it is!

These are often mistaken for bovinus, due to the reddish tergites and rather distinct ventral vitta: abb. Perplexus Verrall. Antenna and eye colour are distinctive, though.
