The first three are (probably) Empis tessellata, although the tibiae in tessellata usually are paler. The bottom one is another species om Empis, probably (close to) ciliata. Did you collect it?

Hi Alvaro

Never post more than one fly in one thread 😋😎😎

The Bibio is not marci, so it should be leucopterus.
For Paul to check.
