They are all sarcophagids, as you say. They are probably Sarcophaga sp. but to go further we need to see the male-genitalia under a microscope and have a good book of keys

Thanks for the quick reply, Genus is fine enough for me. Is there any special shots to change it from 'probable' to 'definite' (genus) id?

Not really ... well, not for me anyway  The photos look identical to Sarcopgaga spp. here but I don't know your fauna and it is likely to be different to ours I think we can certainly say they are Sarcophaga (sens.lat.), in the broad sense of the definition.
