As indicated in my previous posting among the horseflies which I found and photographed in Bulgaria this year were two which I did not recognise. This is the second one - a large and impressive species found near Banderitsa (1810 metres) on 23 July 2017.

I would be very grateful if anyone is able to suggest an identification

Many thanks

Alan

Very many thank Theo. I thought it would likely be you who would respond on this. I hope that all is well with you.
