This one really looks strange. Tachiniae, I think. Some 3mm long. Near water.

It's a good photo - because, while people complain that they can't see the tachinid's subscutellum, here we can see that this fly clearly doesn't have a subscutellum ;)

This is an Anthomyiidae, and I think it is Anthomyia monilis. Any dorsal view to be sure ?

Yes, it has a strong brown band on the thorax. I saw this fly together with Walteré

If nobody contests, consider it is. ;)
