| | | Anyone ID these flies please
Hi all.
Shown below are a couple of flies. They were both just slightly larger than a house fly and were on a privet hedge that marks my garden boundary. I thought that one of them was a Flesh Fly but after looking through the Gallery I still aren't sure. Positive they are a common species but my insect ID skills are not very good.
Thanks

I'm no expert but would guess a species of Calliphoridae - they have a Gallery you could look through at www.diptera.info |

The orange anterior spiracle and basicosta suggest that it is Calliphora vicina. |
