Flies, Switzerland. (1 Viewer)

First should be Tachina fera, 2nd looks a bit like a Norellisoma but not exactly, 3rd one also a Tachinid, I'm sure I have already seen them but I can't find the same pattern by browsing web pictures...

#1 Tachina fera probably correct but T. magnicornis very similar
#2 Scathophaga stercoraria
#3 Muscidae -Myospila cf meditabunda (check what sp recorded in Switzerland)

Thanks,
#1here is another photo in case it help to ID Tachina fera vs magnicornis (black tarsus as a key?)
#2 so this is the famous "Mouche à -French word here- ... I always thought they were the green ones!
#3 local list gives only "Muscidae sp." or maybe there is a synonym for Myospila... But I can find meditabunda in Swiss studies.

#1 not sure, never seen T. magnicornis, rare in UK, fore tarsi look darkish but not black, tarsal claws seem short but photo not sufficient resolution.
#2 females of ten greenish or grey, males furry and yellow
#3 were are you looking? 3 sp Myospila in Switzerland meditabunda, alpina and bimaculata. Probably need specimen to ID to sp.

More flies, same area, low altitude countryside...
I see the order of the images has changed since I posted... so looking at the name of attached images:
Eristalis arbustorum
Another Eristalis_sp, not sure which one if possible to ID
fly_3 and fly_10 also looking a bit like "bees"...
fly_4 to fly_7 more Muscidae? just in case some could be ID, maybe 7 more easily?
fly_8 and fly_9 look a bit like flesh flies...

No 10 is a Bee-fly Villa sp , maybe V. hottentotta .

I think fly_5/6 is a Face Fly - Musca autumnalis.
