Horse fly to me.

Horse fly to me.

if it's 'very big' it could be a giant black horsefly - I've heard of a few being sighted around here lately

That looks like a Hover Fly.. I've got one in my allotment. The little b*gger tries to chase me away from my liquid fertilizer barrel.

Definitely a Tabanidae, a biting fly. Here I would call it a deer fly not a horse fly.
