They are all sarcophagids, as you say. They are probably
Sarcophaga sp. but to go further we need to see the male-genitalia under a microscope and have a good book of keys :)

Thanks for the quick reply, Genus is fine enough for me.
Is there any special shots to change it from 'probable' to 'definite' (genus) id? ;)

Not really ... well, not for me anyway :D The photos look identical to
Sarcopgaga spp. here but I don't know your fauna and it is likely to be different to ours :) I think we can certainly say they are
Sarcophaga (
sens.lat.), in the broad sense of the definition.
