Those females of Anthomyiidae have 4 post dc. One of them was full of pollen of Salix.
Is it Egle ciliata ?

Probably Egle ciliata, but E. brevicornis also has 4 post dcs. The latter is much less common however. If you want a recent revision of European Egle spp send me your email address and I will send you a pdf
