I saw these flies (2 male & 2 female) in a woodforest near Amsterdam.
I know that they are difficult to identify but I'll try.

Breast and backbody grey and black (little blue).
Backbody blocked but less blocked than Sarcophaga carnaria.
Stripes on back are also less blocked than Sarcophaga c., more grey and less white.
Eyes are purple-red (could be influenced by some artificial light) and not blood-red
Wingdrawing shows not many crossing-lines in the end(top) of the wing.

(I'm sorry using non-scientific-language)

These are, indeed, Muscidae.
Vein M is straight, a rare feature in Tachinidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
