Horse Fly - Tabanus pumilus
Lafayette, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA
August 7, 2013
It took me forever to even get to the right place since I have very little knowledge or experience with flies.
I taking a guess between Tabanus sackeni and Tabanus sparus. I'm leaning towards sparus but since I don't really know how to tell any of the species apart I am just going off of comparing the markings.
