I think all these are Cheilosia albitarsis but would like to have confirmation.

Thank you Andre!

I checked C. variabilis before but refused it because of the legs:
De Nederlandse Zweefvliegen says "... en zwarte poten" and Ernst Torp in Danmarks Svirrefluer "Benene er helt sorte (the legs are completely black)".

Does its name "variabilis" refer to the legs?

Kind regards, Rolf
