Hello forum, Yesterday I found this Tabanidae in the south of the Netherlands. Is it possible to give it an ID? A few species look a lot like this one but I still doubt which is the right one. Regards, Arno ArnovanStipdonk attached the following image:  [127.95Kb] |

It is either Tabanus bromius or maculicornis male. IT is as grey as maculicornis, however, the head size suggests otherwise. More pictures might help, if available. Theo |

Thanks a lot Theo. They really do look the same. I did make more picture's but unfortunally they were not so good (unsharp). I will go back one of these days, maybe I will find it again. Greetings, Arno |

Well, I restudied the second picture, I don't see any longer hairs on occiput, so it should be bromius after all. Theo |
