Hi Kev!

You're not the only one wishing for labels. But finding the names is part of the fun;)

Your links don't work 'out of the box'. Manually adding a '.jpg' extension to the URL solves this problem. Having done that I can offer some preliminary comments:

1st: A female calyptrate fly. This is a very large group including several major familes like muscids, anthomyiids, tachinids, the familiar blue&greenbottles and others. The numerous bristles on the body and the calypters (flaps at base of wing) are typical characters for this group. Perhaps a female Hydrotaea (family Muscidae)? It is a long time since I spent much time with these.

2nd. Another calyptrate fly, This is a male which helps. It is an Anthomyiid. Very few species of this large family can be identified from photographs, but this is one of the few exceptions. If the photograph was taken in may-june I'd call this Hydrophoria lancifer.

The 3rd one is not a fly but a saw-fly (order Hymenoptera).

PS. Any morsel of additional data will often help. Place & time is almost essential; habitat type is also useful to know.
