Hello to all,
is this male Tabanidae to be determined by these pictures? Size between 25 and 30mm. It was walking around on the asphalt and tapped the ground by its forelegs, sometimes flying a short distance in between.
For the genus I suggest Tabanus, but which species?

Location: Germany, South East Bavaria, close to Traunstein
Date: 15.06.2008

Greetings
Rupert
