My ID of the three flies I posted today were Muscidae, Dolichopodidae, and an unknown. With your guidance I learn that in fact they were Anthromyiidae and two Ephydridae. :D

As always I appreciate your help with these. I am learning so much!

I must admit on this one I jumped to a conclusion based on the bronzy color that seemed right for a Dolichopodidae, and habitat that also seemed right. Since the fly was on a shore, though, I should have also thought of Ephydridae (Shore Fly)!
