This female Tabanidae took a bite of me. That was the last thing she ever did. From today just north of Stockholm. Any chance of an ID?

Edit: Changed subject (Tabanidae sp)

Hybomitra sp., Tabanidae. Hybomitra has small 3-d eye (don't know English term) and stripped big eyes.
For species level you have to wait for Theo.

A typical female of H. bimaculata (thanks, Nikita).
Broad vitta on tergites and notopleural lobes dark.
For a real ID with keys you would need to see the head in front view.

Is this sufficient?

BTW! Thanks for the help. Both of you.

The ID was already positive,
and this picture does confirm it: small and converging frontal stripe, wrinkled lower callus
Eyes with shades of reddish
