Hi Libor, this fly didn't have any eyebands, only brownish eyes. Here is a slightly different angle. Cheers, Christian ChristianL attached the following image:  [94.61Kb] |

No eyeband, hmmm. What about body length? T. autumnalis belongs among species with upper facets 4x bigger than lower ones. Not your case... So maybe T. bovinus. Libor |

Hello Libor, oh sorry, I forgot to mention the body length, that was ca. 15mm. So probably not T. bovinus. It seems, that the Tabanidae is also a difficult group for foto ID. Best regards, Christian |
