This is Tabanidae: Goniops
Tabanidae: Goniops chrysocoma

Arthropeas or Goniops?
Wandering through looking at flies... I noticed this guy IDed as Arthropeas although it looks exactly like this fly that'd been IDed as Goniops chrysocoma...

Personally I've no idea which ID is correct, but I'm pretty sure these are images of the same fly.
