Found in Susa Valley, Piedmont, NW Italy, at 1000 mt above sea level, on 4th August 2019. Could it be a Tabanus bromius?

Hi, for me it looks more like the B. autumnalis.

It is too slender for autumnalis female, moreover, the first posterior cell is not converging and the shape of the spots is inconsistent.
Without better view of the eye / head, I would not dare to make an identification.
