Can you give us some more information? Where in the world did you see them and approximately how large are they? |

The tabanid is a species of Silvius, possibly alpinus. It may help to know where it's from. Also a dorsal view would show some of the diagnostic characters better.

Hi Kulac Yes, it is a Silvius alpinus female. Nice fly - it would be good to have them in Britain!

The asilid is a Choerades ignea female, similar to Choerades gilva, but with yellow hairs behind the eyes.
