I checked my balckony with a flashlight upon returning from work late at night and found these 4 different species.

The first fly I think is Cerajocera (=Terellia??) tussilaginis, top: male, bottom: female. Size of both 4.5mm.

I'd suggest it's a Calliopum (based only on banded eyes and form of antennae, though). Size 4mm.

And the last one. Some Muscidae? This might be hopeless I'm afraid. Size 5.5mm.

Hi.
I think that N3 is Sarpomyza, Lauxaniidae. Reason - absence of presutural dc.
