Thanks
for the pointer, Herschel. It is most likely Tabanus.

Jim, what you see is a spot where the spider was feeding.

Tick?
Is that a small, dug-in tick on this fly or just some inards protuding where maybe the spider bit it?

Fine shot
That is a superb facial and dorsal shot of the Menemerus in action. And deer flies are closely related to the horse flies. This one looks like a small horse fly species.
