I haven't been able to identify this very big Tabanus fly. Anyone here that can?

No, not Tabanus spec
Tabanus eggeri male !
The first posterior cell is strongly contracting towards wing margin, sometimes even closed.

Thank you so much Theo. I got this suggestion from Cor Zonneveld, but he wasn't sure.
