Hello!

Last but not least some not so good photos of other flies I took yesterday here in Germany. I hope someone can nevertheless give a comment on one or the other. Thanks in advance!

The first one (~ 8 mm) sat on the wall of our house. I assume it is some kind of soldier fly, maybe an Oxycera species?

The next flies were very abundant in the leaves of trees at the wood's edge. Belonging to the Drosophilidae?

The next two look a little like Scatophagids, but no species I know:

The last unknown, but quite distinctively marked flies were only about 2-3 mm long (sorry, no better photo possible with such small objects) and running restlessly on the bark of Fagus, Fraxinus etc.

Here a pic of a syrphid fly that does not need to be identified, but I found it quite nice :-) (the first Volucella bombylans this year).
