Hello Michael, this is not a
Tabanidae sp, it is a
Therevidae sp.

Thank you.
I think it is Thereva nobilitata.

Hello Michael, I agree with Thereva but we need an expert opnion about a species. i have experience only with
Thereva nobilitata but i forget the details. I do remember that a bristle should be present somewhere on the thorax, which we cannot see in these photos. I am not qualified to suggest a species here. You should wait to see if someone can help you. I suggest we leave it at Thereva sp. for now.

Please always post date and localilt. Makes life so more easy...
It is Thereva and not nobilitata. More likely plebeja.
