First, i think it would be better if these were posted in 3 threads - because we all have specialities and it is a bit easier to follow a conversation about one thing ;)

But the tachinid looks more like a Tachina sp. to me - round third antennal segment and stronger bristles :) But to say any more from a photo would just be guessing in southern Europe ;)

The Bombylid is indeed H velutina.

Hippobosca equina is right.

The Tachina is something special, like T. casta (or canariensis, in case it have been made on the Canary Isles)

Yeah, krispy, plz read the Code of Conduct again. You find some info there that is worth all our while. Besides putting the images in different threads, you would have remembered to put in some info on the location where the pictures were taken, etc. ;)
