First look made me think this was certainly hopeless,
but a second look changed my mind
There are clear spurs on hind tibia and also distinct ocelli present. So don't let the general impression fool you: this is a member of the Chrysopsinae subfamily (no Tabaninae !!). There is a reason some genus is called 'Pseudotabanus'
Still, need to work on this as well.

What would be another possibilities for this tabanid, Theo?
Thanks!

It keys out to Pseudotabanus lunulatus.
I have no experience with this very variable species, that very well might prove to be a species complex
I'm not sure what you are trying to ask, Jorge.
