Hello!
These rather large (8-9 mm) Anthomyiids were numerous on fence stakes two days ago (northwest Germany).

I think you are right with
Mycophaga, though the first one seems very dark.

Perhaps the first is a female
Hydrophoria linogrisea?

It is more like a female Hylemya vagans.

The disc of the scutellum looks too hairy for
Hylemya, and there are hairs between the presutural acrostichals.

Yes, I was not sure, if the abdomen was orange coloured. But at first it seemed to me so.
