I suspect these may all be Phaonia spp

This one was taken at Katherine, in the tropical Northern Territory of Australia. It might even be P pallida

Same fly.

Apologies again for image quality - the little camera doesn't cope so well.

I think it is Calliphoridae.

Yes, I think you are right - I can see the bend in the vein of the last two. Also when I saw this species later it was behaving more like Calliphoridae, in company with presumed Sarcophaga sp and what I now know is probably Chrysomyia sp on some fresh horse dung.

Thanks again.
Susan
