I have my doubts Looks like something in the Tabanus glaucopis group, but if you don't have a frontal pic, it is gonna be very difficult to say more. Theo |

it is clear that this has hairy eyes. Does Tabanus glaucopis have hairy eyes? |

OK, that helps a lot The eyes are slightly hairy, but not as much as in Hybomitra. Moreover, in Hybomitra the calli are connected. So this is Tabanus, somewhere in the nemoralis - bifarius group. It doesn't look grey, but greenish, so that would exclude nemoralis. On the other hand, the pattern is unusually strong, suggesting marianii. Not really possible to be sure. Theo |
