An abundance of flies today. Here are a few :)

The queen of all flies? She's wearing a beautiful golden gown:

Missed the focus on this one but does anyone have an ID? Ca 4mm long.

Looks like there will be even more flies soon:

Excellent shots Bea.
#1 is a cluster fly (Rudia pollensa or something like that), suspect #2 is another leaf/grass miner fly.

Very nice series. The last one is my favorite. I like both the composition and colors ;)

Thank you guys! I should tell you that the orange color in the last pic is from a miniature orange.

Brian, you are right, the first one seems to be a cluster fly (Pollenia rudis, you were close :)). Thanks for the ID.
