Hello,
yesterday I photographed in Germany, Saxony this tabanid. For me Tabanus tergestinus from gallery looks similar. Does the insect belong to this species or to another one? Unfortunately, the face is in shadow.
Thank you, Marion

Impossible to be sure without a frontal shot, but certainly not tergestinus.
There is no reason why this could not be Tabanus bromius.

Many thanks, Theo.
It seems that I was misleaded by the hope for another species.
Best regards, Marion
