Can anyone id these three? All from southeast Norway. Garden or meadow in forest.

1. Eristalis arbustorum? May 12, 2008

2. Eristalis interrupta? July 15, 2007

3. Eristalis abusiva? September 15, 2007

Or am I way off here? Smile

My guess for first two would be Eristalis interrupta females, the third more likely E. arbustorum female.

Thank you! One out of three... Hm could be worse. I guess it is difficult to be sure based on pictures only.
