I was watching a hornet stripping bark from an Ash tree surrounded by flies taking advantage of the source of sap. The image here is of two of these flies. Is someone able to tell me what they are. On the top I think is a dung fly can someone conifrm this and also identify the one in the bottom two images?

THe first two are Scatophagidae, dungflies, species: Scatophaga stercoraria. The other two look very "Muscoid".

Bottom right looks like Helina - maybe H. impuncta/depuncta? |
