Moved from Coenosiinae. Not in the Lispe tentaculata group.

Moved from House Flies and kin. Lispe, I think.

Possibly Tachinidae

Lynette, can you enlarge the antennae to see more detail? On most Muscids, the arista will be plumose for the entire length. I am thinking the arista here look bare, which would suggest Tachinidae.

Overall your two flies aren't as bristly as some Tachinids, but Tachinid may be what these are.

Great photos! Love the handlebars and draglines.

Atennae

This is the best I could get.
