Hello Theo!

In your first pic, there are some bronze tints.
Looking from above is the best way to get the bronze tint
Your are right, I see it now.

That said, the identification is straightforword based on antennal shape and colour. By far the best (ie. most reliable and easier to spot) feature !
Thanks for this!
Could you please explain or draw (or give me a link to) the antennal shape of our Tabanus species? Let's say, at least Tabanus sudetica and T. bovinus?

Best wishes,
Tina.
