and this is the male of Tabanus maculicornis for sure.
You can nicely see the curly hairs on the occiput.

Hi Theo
still big luck with my pictures: not often the Tabanidae are so kind to bring down their head to show this curly hairs, pic 1, if i unterstood right.
Thank you for the ID.
Best Regards, Brigitte

Well, I could have IDed pic 2 as well, so no luck here but a good photographer.
By the ways: these don't bite (male !)
