So, you have managed terrific without me !
Phasia aurigera it is, first a male, about the second one I'm not 100 % sure, and the third is a female aurigera.
But beware of quite similar aurulans !!


Thanks a lot!

Here I have another possible Phasia (?), photographed today here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Most surprising was the size: it was very tiny for a Phasia, only half or two thirds the size of the other females posted in this thread.

Here two more pictures with other small flies and a nettle moth (Anthophila fabriciana) on it for comparison:
