Managed to get another couple of shots of a fly that I would like more info on if anyone knows what it is. Usual fly size but brownish. Had a couple of them on a leaf each.

Anthomyiidae
Fly of the family Anthomyiidae, a family we call flower flies in Europe (rather than the SYrphidae that we call hoverflies). Many species have phytophagous larvae, including the onion fly and the beetroot fly. I do not know species/genus of the one on display here.
