Could anyone help me to identify these mating flies. They look brownish on the first sight.
Found them today on the wall of my house (Koudekerke, Netherlands).

Pollenia sp Calliphoridae - note the wavy golden hairs on the thorax.

Sorry, but Pollenia are impossible from photos - I'm not experienced enough to hazard a guess even with such a beautiful high quality image.
