First two photos = Scatella - a small but quite difficult genus.
Next pair = probably Psilopta polita. This species is metallic green - I guess the strong blue hue in the pics is reflections of a blue sky.

Thank you for both first one and this couple of Ephydridae.
Nikita
P.S. In reality Psilopta polita was as strong metallic green as you discribed
