No. 2 is Lauxaniidae, No. 3 is Anthomyiidae. Unless you expect that you have the same species (or maybe genus), please post images in different threads. Better for overview. ;)

I think those dust patterns on the thorax are found in Anthomyiidae and not in Muscidae. ;)

Ahhh, it was nothing to do with the wings then. Come on Mike, I am waiting for your wisdom.

I think the anal vein reaches the wing margin (though faintly visible) but that is difficult to tell from the photo.
