I found tabanus like http://upload.wik...%A4nen.JPG this and I now have problems with ID's. Otherwise it looks like tabanus bromius, but the eyes don't quite match. Could you help me with ID's?

EDIT: And here's another photo of the eyes: http://upload.wik...s-eyes.JPG.

Theo will tell more about the possible species of this Hybomitra. He is the world expert in this family! ;)

EVen experts need several excellent pics of one specimen.
What bothers me is that the upper facets are enlarged whereas the notopleural lobes are dark. This suggests distinguende (it is a male, by the way).
I'd need to have a good picture of the first tergites, or better, the fly itself,

Unfortunately I don't have too good photo of tergites, but maybe you can see something from this photo:
