User's notes

A brown March fly, more tan on the abdomen, and clear wings with brown veins (photo 2). Legs are also more tan, (photo 1). Slightly translucent abdomen (photo 3), and dark brown eyes (most photos). Could be the same or similar species to those at sightings 4672633 & 4672638 but difficult to compare with only 1 photo for those sightings.

March fly (Tabanidae); genus probably either Dasybasis or Tabanus.
