Open grassland pastures. Sheep grazing in the area. Size about 15 mm.
Pleased to receive Id.

Thnks in advance.

 Yes,mthatbhelps.
It is a member of the Tabanus glaucopis group, either castellanus or exclusus.
Difficult to judge the width of frontal stripe from this angle.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
