Hello! I photographed these 3 flies yesterday in Ostwestfalen/Germany (sunny, 12 ?C). I assume, they are Scatophagids but am not sure. The first one was the smallest (only 10 mm or less) and sat at the wall of our house:  No 2 looks furry like Scatophaga stercoraria and has dark antennae. but also was rather small (8-10 mm):  No 3 was about 12 mm and rested on bark:  P.S.: Many Episyrphus balteatus, Eristalis tenax and honey bees around here yesterday - and the first Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta)  .
