This fly was not about to let go of it's evening meal.
Coniopterygidae - Waxy Lacewing. Approximately 3mm in length.
This one, I felt alight onto my arm. I coaxed it around onto my finger. Length was about 3mm. It's a rather soft shot but the only one I could get before it flew away. Quite interesting markings on the wings. It also looks rather like a lacewing of sorts

#1 will be a Muscid fly Coenosia species - they are predatory.
Last shot is a bark fly (Psocidae)
