Prosena siberita (nothing else has such a long down-curved proboscis) ... they are flying around here in England too :)

Yeah, I always find them on local chalk-downland sites, sitting on Marjoram (Oregano) plants :)

That's true - I had forgotten
Rhamphina but they are big and dark and look like a
Eurithia with a long proboscis that tends to hinge under the body - I think?

the last is an Anthomyiidae.
I hope you really find that amazing Conops!!! But considering that conopids were really bad this year... I hope you will spot it again. ;)

Please follow the board rule not to post different species in one post !
The 'Aphria' is certainly something else, Aphria has the frontal stripe vividly reddish (see recent thread).
It might be Eriothrix though, (of course NOT rufomac. but another species)
