Can we get a better picture of the calli (the dark spots between the eyes) ? Theo |

Assuming that Jorge's ID is incorrect I will guess Tabanus bifarius |

The new picture and Tony confirm my suspicion: it is more the bifarius-lunatus group. The lower callus is rather black and the red lateral spots are large on abdomen, so I'd rather go for lunatus instead of promesogaeus ( the new name for bifarius auct. nec Loew). Theo |
