Can someone help to get the family of these?
I'm guessing Muscidae for the first and Anthomyzidae for the second, but just guesses.
The first one is almost 1 cm long, the other two are about 3mm long.

Yes, third pic is Chloropidae, but seems characters cleared or lost in the white background, do you have more photos?

Thanks
I don't have more, these were very energetic and wouldn't stop even for cleaning themselves, only one of each was what I got.
I'll probably be able to catch the same species in the days to come and try more pictures.

1) Muscidae, probably Coenosiinae.
2) I think Anthomyzidae (but remember that Neotropical Aulacigastridae looks similar to them...).
3) Chloropidae, indeed.

2) Aulacigastridae (s. l.) ask your former compatriot Alessandra Rung
