The first series is
Protoclythia rufa, the last one is another species, apparently all black. I cannot see many details but perhaps it is a
Platypeza.

thank you Paul...and indeed the last fly was another specimen, but in my memory it was the same species ...but I am surely mistaken. I will examine the Ecchinacea leaves once again...
