Today I photographed this fly at Leerdam, Netherlands. Perhaps Phaonia?

Thank you in advance!

Hydrophoria lancifer (Anthomyiidae), female. Really common and highly visible as it is quite large and likes to sit on leaves near the ground.

That is more than I could hope for. Thanks very much, Kahis!

Could the following two flies belong to the same species? Also photographed today, same spot (but three different flies).
