In the vicinity of Korenica in Croatia I saw this relatively large horsefly with bright green eyes without banding.
Alt. approx. 700m
Looking at the color and the shape of the antennas, I would say Philipomyia aprica (female) rather than a Tabanus sp.
Is this assumption correct?
Thanks for your advice.

Definitely Philipomyia, though I'd say it is more likely Ph. graeca.
Those two are very similar.
