I guess here is no mistaking that it is a female D. phalerata?

Caught in a mushroom trap in my garden

First two specimens are certainly D. phalerata, female and male. Pictures of the third fly do not show some characters, but according to abdominal spots it can be considered probably as D. transversa.
