Hi,
what Tabanid have I seen here?
Seen in Juli in the Zillertal Alps at >2000m a.s.l
Cheers,
Lorin

Very likely Hybomitra aterrima.

Thanks Theo.
In the gallery, there are only entries under
H. auripila. Is its actual status that of a subspecies of
H. aterrima or a full species?

Auripila is currently considered as a variety of aterrima.

ok thanks again, so I was wondering, as no
aterrima pics are in the gallery, whether this observation can be added, or is the ID not that safe?

To be dead sure, I would like a dorsal view.
