these flies I found very numerous in the herbaceous layer of an riparian forest near the Rhine-river. The imagines can be found there from April/May to autumn time.
I would be glad getting any information concerning species / family.

greetings from Mannheim

The second and third images look like a Pollenia sp (Calliphoridae).

... but please post different flies to different threads otherwise it gets confusing for people reading & replying Wink
