Hi This photo was taken by Axel Rouvin, that grants me to show the photo. He want to know the species that this fly can belong... It was taken on 15 Aug. 2007 in Estuaire - Gabon. It is very distinctive and a beautiful tabanid. Maybe, Theo you know this one. Some kind of Tabanus, I think... Theo ?   ps this photo was granted to use in gallery!

IF it's ove 14 mm., I would say Male Tabanus secedens Common species in western and central Africa. Great picture Theo |

The ID is tentative, since it's a male, and I have only females. Nevertheless, I'm pretty confident it is secedens or close relative. Theo |
