I suspect these may all be
Phaonia spp
This one was taken at Katherine, in the tropical Northern Territory of Australia. It might even be
P pallida

Same fly.
Apologies again for image quality - the little camera doesn't cope so well.

I think it is Calliphoridae.

Yes, I think you are right - I can see the bend in the vein of the last two. Also when I saw this species later it was behaving more like Calliphoridae, in company with presumed
Sarcophaga sp and what I now know is probably
Chrysomyia sp on some fresh horse dung.
Thanks again.
