Thanks for the specific epithet!
I appreciate your time and effort on this horse fly. Your identification helps me understand the direction to go in some of the keys that include this species of “Tabanus.” Thanks again!

a nice set of images
a lateral view showing the head and antenna and palps is often useful.
Keyed readily in Texas Tabanids
