Hi, this 25mm long monster tried to eat me alive during my Tachinidae trip today :o Any suggestions for ID ? I did read my Tabanidae book and ended to Tabanus sudeticus, but I don't know these at all. Loviisa, Southern Finland today.

Very nice images, cover all needed angles. Looks identical to the coloured image of a female
sudeticus in "The Horse Flies of Europe"; best wait for an expert (Theo) to confirm.

Tony T.'s judgement is a expertise as mine
(since it is the same: sudeticus).

Hi, thank You both. A real monster in size. I'm glad I was faster than she ;)
