Hello,

I photographed this fly near Passo San Nicolò (TN), Italy, 2250m a.s.l. on August 3rd 2023. I think it is a Tabanidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

It is confusing, I'm not sure.

It is the male of H. nigricornis, a boreo-alpine species, so that makes perfect sense.;
