I found some information in ?British Soldierflies??
1. Tabanidae eggs wtite or white-yellow freshly lay, than become dark to deep black.
2. Chrysops put eggs in one layer, 15-20 degree to substrate.
Both fact are visible on my photo:

3. Hybomytra and Tabanus eggs lay in 3-4 layers, angle to substrate 45-50. Looks like ?inverted fan? (I don?t know what is it).
So, I think Hybomytra-Tabanus is correct.
