(arista long haired, prealar long, abdomen with some shining blackish reflections, legs yellow and without interfrontals?.....Eutrichota sp maybe ?)

It is a muscid for me, probably an old Helina.

Firstly, thanks to both of you. Please enjoy the tea Joke Grin I have a couple of more images of this "dinner party". The fly had a guest.

Big fly (I was wrong about the size before) about 10mm
Small fly was about 5mm and that I believe is an Anthomyiidae. Perhaps a Lasiomma sp.?

First, here are both of them
