I never took your comment in any wrong way.. I just posted a wiki screenshot so that it will help you to identify the common name of that insect - Owl fly.oh, I didn't mean to say you were wrong, only that I had never heard of the common name. I should have thanked you to avoid any confusion.
Nice pic by the way, try to shoot their eyes, they have unique eye pattern.. here in India we have a different sub species of owl fly, I will post the pics sometime later..
