...or ist this Epicampocera succincta (Tachinidae) again? At light in garden yesterday night (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Length about 8 mm (considerably smaller than a Calliphora or even Lucilia).

And what about the other small fly on the picture (the beetle is a Leperisinus fraxini, 3 mm, Scolytidae)? Drosophilidae?

Thanks in advance for any hints!
