I found this pretty beast the 10.08.10 in Grevenmacher (Luxembourg, just near the frontier with Germany) whe it sat on an rainpipe. It's lenght was about 17 to 18mm.

I tried to identify the fly an ended up with Atylotus, a female. In the gallery I found A. loewinaus quite fitting. Could this be right?
This is the first horse fly with such wonderful green eyes that I have ever seen. I'm really fond of green eyes in insects anyway:)

I would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks,
many regards,
Svenja
