Tabanus lineola
Strange looking fly. Eyes looked wonderful with a reflective dull yellow. Same color stripe down center of back and on middle of all six legs.
Pictures taken from atop a Red Rider wagon. It was found and stayed on this until it started to rain.
A little less than an inch in length.
I was also thinking horse fly, but didn't want to sound bad if that isn't a common name for them in other places. XD Wasn't for sure if that was a nickname or not.
looks like a horse fly to me. not sure which species though. Very neat colors though!
