The attached pictures were taken on Canary Islands (Costa Calma, Fuerteventura) in different years in March, except the front view picture from female specimen which was taken in February.
For me the legs and the veins in the wings look different.
My question: Who is who?
Thank you. Marion

I think on the first picture is Anastoechus. I know about only one species from Canary Islands,
A.latifrons (Macquart,1839)

Thank you, Lukasz. I start to understand that I focussed on the wrong genus. Marion

i suspect Lukasz is right.
the others are
Dischistus of which the only species listed for the Canaries is
D. atlanticus Santos Abréu 1926 but the fauna is far from being fully known.
