Hover flies

I spent a while trying to track insects in the garden thismorning. I'm not sure of the quality of these and would welcome comments and advice from some of the insect experts on the forum.

Looks like he is enjoying the content of those flowers.

I like the hair detail in number one. and the colour and stamen detail in the second, along with the allmost complete hover.
Nice gentle colours again in the third one

Numbers 1 and 2 for me. Great pose in #1 - almost as if he's saying "If I can't see you, you can't see me"!

Thanks for the comments.
The fly in number one seemed to be having a wash at the time, as it kept wiping itself. I've never really thought about the personal hygiene habits of flies. I expect there's a PhD thesis waiting for someone (or maybe it ahs already been done).
