Hi Bill,

the first two flies are definitely Eristalis as you can see the dipped vein. Pale front tarsi mark both out as E. pertinax, the second fly looks like a hairy spring-brood specimen.

E. luniger looks probable but from this picture it's difficult to be certain, and I don't think there are that many Cheilosia that can be readily identified from a picture
