Hi Robert.
Warning: I've never seen Stratiomyidae yet, so do not regard this reply as correct answer. Just as attempt to think.
1. Stratiomyidae.
2. Empididae, Rhamphomyia?
3. Cyclorrapha.
Nikita

The first AND the second phot are Beris clavipes. The third is a species of Scathophagidae, one with leaf-mining larvae. Maybe a species of Cordyla but I would absolutely not be surprised if it proves to be another genus.

Thank you Paul and Nikita,

Is that a sex-difference between 1 and 2 ?

1) more green and I see no hair on thorax
2) more black and I see hair on thorax (light/yellow)

Hi!

The first two are indeed Beris, but I think it is B. morrisii. Shouldn't clavipes have a orange abdomen?

The last one is Phrosia albilabris (Fabricius 1805). This scatophagid is quite uncommon at least here in Finland and found mostly at the forest edge of mesotropic bogs and fens.
