I am not an insect specialist and certainly not a flies expert, but it looks like a hose-fly if I judge them based of the structure of the eyes. This fly flew into my house that day, I realize something is different about it, so I caught it and put them into a container.
Actually, I am not so sure if this is a horsefly, Thoughts? But I really seen nothing like this before, and this is an image I took after it died after a few days and it was at its stage of decomposition, not sure what is going on with all those net-alike thing wrap around its body. I am pretty much sure it produced all net-alike thing by itself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Horse-flies or horseflies are true flies in the family Tabanidae in the insect order Diptera. They are often large and agile in flight, and the females bite animals, including humans, to obtain blood. They prefer to fly in sunlight, avoiding dark and shady areas, and are inactive at night. They are found all over the world except for some islands and the polar regions (Hawaii, Greenland, Iceland). Both horse-flies and botflies (Oestridae) are sometimes referred to as gadflies"
