Yet another dangerous blood sucker! Very lage fly (about 20mm), found in a mountaneous region, Portugal.
Tabanus sudeticus ?
Thanks,
Joaquim Gaspar

It is a big Tabanus, but there are many of those.
I'd need to see more details. Dorsal shot would help, as would a ventral.

It is a big TAbanus, but it does not look like sudeticus.
Much too orange.
Most likely Tabanus tinctus.
