Hi At first I thought this was H. pluvialis... but not so! Caught in open grassland with cattle nearby on 9 VI 2009. 1. antennal segment without notch or any other irregularity and dusted grey and subcylindrical in shape. Body length 13 mm. Because of the antenna (and the size) I would say Haematopota subcylindrica. Is that a fair assumption or am I missing the obvious?

I identified one recently exactly like this and concluded the same as you. |

I don't see many Tabanids where I hunt for flies, therefore it's nice to gain support. Especially since H. subcylindrica is one of the less common Haematopota sp. in Denmark. |
