 Tabanidae sp. observed at 2018-01-05 Colombia – Atlántico
Alt. > 500m
In flight it is able to hover like a Syrphidae.
Any suggestions regarding genus?

 The proboscis suggests Pangoniinae. Esenbeckia?

 Very nice picture, but difficult to identify, if you are not an expert in the Neotropical Tabanidae. There are many Pangoniinae genera in Colimbia, but it is clearly not Scionini, so something like Esenbeckia sounds possibly right.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
