A is difficult to see, but seems to be Meliscaeva auricollis (or in genus Episyrphus is you like). B and C are Platycheirus. I leave them to the real experts Theo Zeegers |

They appear to be what we would have called Platycheirus scutatus before every hair splitter attacked the genus and found more and more cryptic species. I leave them to the real experts
