Hello!
Also from our garden at night the first and second fly. The first one is only 4-5 mm long, the second (
Phaonia cf. rufiventris?) about 8-9 mm.
The third one, with a black spot on the thorax, I photographed two days ago at the afternoon on a clay spot on a meadow (again all pics from Ostwestfalen/Germany). It was about 6-8 mm long.
Thanks for all hints!

One is in Coenosinae (Muscidae) - I'll need to check it against some specimens to suggest a name.
Two is an anthomyid, I think.
Three has the stance of a
Lispe (Muscidae), but I'm puzzled by what appears to be a metallic frons ... and that black spot ... maybe it is to show you where to stick the pin! ;)
[Kahis may have the answer?]

;-). I think it doesn't belong to the fly originally. It's asymmetrical.
