On a Quercus sap run,
Italy.
Are they all Aulacigaster?

Many thanks in advance for your valuable support!

No Aulacigaster, all are drosophilids, at least three species. I would not speculate which species, not having seen more details, e. g. setae on palpi and (in mates) on fore tarsi. Just the specimen with clouded wing apex could be a male of D. tristis, but even there palpal aetae should be examined.
