Think all of these are Pollenia sp., but seems to be different species? Is that correct?
Read on other threads that these is not possible to identify to species-level from photos, but I guess it's possible to identify to genus-level?

All photos from Bodø, northern Norway from different locations in April 2011.

First one is only 5-6 mm, didn't look like Pollenia when I first saw it, but it does on the photo... Maybe I'm wrong about this? Muscidae perhaps?
