These photos were taken today in Valega (35 km South of Oporto) - PORTUGAL

About 5-6 mm lenght...

This fly rotate her wings. When the fly hangs on the leaf the wings are always moving...

another shot so you can see the design of the wings very clearly:

I suppose that it is a Lucilia sp. ? I have almost Smile certainty 100% that the family is Sarcophagidae..

Calliphoridae family?

The first two are Rivellia syngenesiae, family Platystomatidae.

Lucilia = OK
after that Sarcophagidae / Darcophaginae
last = Anthomyia (Anthomyiidae)

The first 2 pictures are Herina, Ulidiidae (before Otitidae). It could be H. paludum because the frontal stripe looks black. From the behaviour it looks like a signalling male. But I'm not a specialist in this family.

The Anthomyia seems to me A. pluvialis ♂. Jan HC Velterop.

As is evident from your reply. Wink John's answer of Rivellia syngenesiae for the first two pictures is entirely correct. They are not Ulididiae.
