Thank you very much for your last comments. There is one more small Muscidae? swarm today, but these specimen are not collected. Perhaps there is a chance to identify one or two specimen.
Thanks in advance.

The first one, I think is Phaonia fuscata, spring fly always siting on tree bark.

I agree with Nikita about the Phaonia.
The third photo appears to be Musca domestica.

You should have tried harder, Frank. It's really quite easy to avoid taking a photo of Musca domestica. Wink
On the first three pages of a Google image search, exactly 50% of the "Musca domestica" were other species (some not even muscids). Shock
