CLOSED: Is this a giant horsefly?

Mahone Bay, Canada

We found this on our door. We live in rural Nova Scotia near a river and find these bugs every so often during the summer. It's about 2.5 inches from head to wing tip. Is this just a huge horsefly or is it some other type of insect?

It's a cicada; they make a lot of noise on hot nights.
