Right !
Clearly a member of the tribe Rhiini of subfamily Chrysomyinae of the family Calliphoridae. Rhiini are always difficult to recognize as Calyptratae.

Well, once you can recognise
Stomorhina lunata, this one is not too difficult to place.
#4
Then, Stomorhina lunata of Chrysomyinae, Calliphoridae?
Thank you Theo and Paul.
#5
Er..., no.
Stomorhina lunata is of the tribe Rhiini of subfamily Chrysomyinae of the family Calliphoridae, but that is not the species in the picture. You can find two pictures of that species
here.
#7
Is it also Chrysomyinae, tribe Rhini?

No doubt a member of the tribe Rhiini indeed (spelling with ii)

Thank you Theo. Very curious this tropical Diptera.

As we know now N2 is
Rhinia apicalis
N1 and N3 (attached below, also Thailand) seems are
Cosmina bicolor widespread and common Oriental fly.
Could you help me with one problem: Kurahashi in his article with key for Thai Cosmina used word "epaulet" without explanations
First idea epaulet=shoulders seems uncorrect.
May be "epaulet" = basicosta ?

Nikita
Epaulettes are the sclerites in the wing joining the basicosta.

"Epaulet" usually refers to the sclerite just basal to the basicosta - these days called the tegula.

Thank you very much, Susan and Tony!

Final ID of images N1 and N3 is
Cosmina limbipennis (Macquart)
