I think it's a female Tabanus glaucopis. from: Zeegers, Schulten (2022): Families of Flies with Three Pulvilli Greetings, Eric K |

Of course, this pretty guide is no longer valid in andalusia. Please note the subcallus lacks black. At close observatiin the eye seems to be hairy. Which would imply T. nemoralis, a spring species. Theo |

But in this case, the pretty guide was valid for Andalusia! I knew ,I was skating on thin ice, but it could have been thicker if I only had studied the morphology pages and learned the subcallus! Greetings, Eric K |

Of course, you can use it at your own risk ! In this case with decent result, indeed.
