Evening Peter,

#1: Sarcophagidae, Sarcophaga sp. (the ID requires genital examination for these typical-looking sarco's)

#2: Reminds me of a Sarcophagid again, but could be a Tach. Not sure on that one.

#3: Anthomyiidae - I'll let others go for this one!

#4: Stratiomyiidae, Beris chalybata most likely I'd have thought. It seems to be a very common one at the moment appearing on WAB about three times this year so far. I've also had both sexes too.

#5: I personally couldn't say better than Anthomyiidae.

#6: Muscidae, and Phaonia sp. looks OK.

Take care,

Jason

Good evening and thank you Jason. #3 and #4 both are unlike any I have seen before - then again I am just starting

For the third, I was thinking it may be from the Anthomyia pluvialis group - but thought better of suggesting that, since most images of black-on-white Anthomyiidae members on the 'Net tend to end up with that name! Still, it quite possibly could be - but I'll leave that for someone else to say.

Think you're on the right lines there Jason.
