This horsefly species was another of those that joined us on our bus in Bulgaria recently. It is clearly a species of Chrysops but I would be very grateful if anyone can identify it to species. I have many more images and a specimen.

Many thanks

Alan

I must have had a bad typing day.

The genus is Chrysops, of course....

We all have days like that Theo. I doubt anyone was confused.

Thank you again
