Hello!
Most frequent Sphaerocerid here (northwest Germany) is still
Lotophila atra at the moment. They are mostly between 3 and 4 mm like the one on the
second picture below. But the one on the first pic was nearly twice as big, over 6 mm. Could this be a female of
Sphaerocera curvipes?
Of the third fly (3.5 mm) I only have bad pictures, and I don't know whether to put it into
Lotophila, too, or possibly
Crumomyia (?).
