This fly (about 7 mm) was in my garden today (Koudekerke, Netherlands). It seems very common but still I cannot give it a name.
Who can help me?

Looks like a sarcophagid ... but without a male specimen it is hard to give an identification :)

It is rather small: about 7 mm. Most Sarcophagids are bigger?
I found this male fly (about 8 mm) on the same place, but I have doubts if it belongs to the same species.

Could the last photo of a male be the same species?

No, the last photo is a muscid - the wing venation is different
