FliesWestern Black Horse Fly
Good afternoon!
I was perplexed as to what type of fly this was until I found it on your site, a female western black horse fly! It was about 1.5 inches long and apparently very noisy (my husband heard this critter buzzing around him and then spotted her on our fence in our backyard in Sacramento, CA.). I’ve never seen a fly that had fur like this!

Hi TC,
We are always thrilled when new visitors to our site actually take the time to try to research the object of their desire to identify rather than to just email us directly. Congratulations on the successful identification of a female Western Horse Fly, Tabanus punctifer.
