1 = Thereva sp. (Therevidae). The shining calli [another term missing from the glossary paul :p] on the head are typical for females of this genus. In most species they form a continous band. I don't know all central/southern European species but it may be possible to find a species name. Where was this pohto taken?
2 = Tephritis sp. (Tephritidae). Again, perhaps a expert can say more, we'll see.
The Thereva was taken in Valega - PORTUGAL - 35 km south of Oporto. The Tephritis too... They was taken both today. (in afternoon... about 7 p.m.)
All photos I showed before were taken here in Portugal - Southern Europe.
I'm waiting for more opinions. Thank you for advance.
That shinning calli... which are their role on fly?
