 Could this fly be identified by the photo I took 07/17 in Naantali, Finland? Some kind of a horsefly?
(I've got more pics if needed)

 Atylotus is OK. Do you have dorsal pic of abdomen and frontal pic of head?

 Probably A. rusticus, but I am not sure without better view of frons and/or antennae.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
