Did you really measure it ?
Looks like a Tabanus in the bromius complex, can't be more than 15 mm.

I'd need to know if there was an eye-band or not.

You can't see the eyeband from this point of view, nor from any other in your pictures.
We would need a more frontal view.
That is why I asked about it
