Could they be Platycheirus scutatus?

Well, this is no Platycheirus, though the antennae look rather dark. However, the female has yellow triangular markings that point to Melanostoma, and according to the dust spots on the frons I wolud assume M. scalare. Compare the female with http://www.dipter...d_id=46348, the upper half of the antennae is also dark there.
