If it is from Moscow region, it can only be Atylotus rusticus.
Great pictures !
By the way, feeding on flowers in quite uncommon in Tabanidae, however, less rare in the genus Atylotus.

Thanks a lot Theo - it was rather indifferent and allowed me to pick itself and place on another inflorescence for better view - maybe it felt somewhat unnatural, the clouds being dispersed over Moscow because of a holiday called the Day of the City here - the rain started to fall only 4p.m. on Sunday.
