Great shot.
You're close on the ID, but it's not a horsefly. (These have the same annoying habit though & will still take a chunk outta ya if they get the chance.)
By the swirled color pattern on the eye and those long antenna, this is one of the Chrysops genus - commonly called a Deerfly.

Horsefly are physically larger, their eyes have series of horizontal stripes and their antenna are considerably smaller

Why one of the most annoying insect has the prettiest eyes?

In nature there is no such thing as evil or good, I think. But they're definitely annoying.
