Hello all,

Would anyone be able to help me with the identification of this tabanid from southern Italy (Calabria)? The photo was taken with a smartphone and unfortunately is not of very good quality.

Hi,

The fly can be seen here (I hope!)

If it is from Italy, it can only be the male of Tabanus paradoxus.
A big species (20 mm. +)
