Tephritidae

I wonder whether any of these can be identified with any degree of certainty?

18/03/2005 on Laurel in my Luton, Beds garden;
Two that I assume are the same species:
28/05/2006 Minsmere, Suffolk - in the public bird hide by the beach;
28/05/2006 Dunwich Heath, Suffolk - on Nettle I think;
09/07/2006 Marston Thrift, Beds;
06/08/2006 Potton Wood;
13/01/2012 in my Luton, Beds garden - Tephritis neesii?;

Re: Tephritidae

These are my suggestions:
- 1: Tephritis species, probably Tephritis formosa (Tephritidae)
- 2: Ceroxys urticae (Ulidiidae)
- 3: Ceroxys urticae
- 4: Herina nigrina (Ulidiidae)
- 5: Euleia heraclei (Tephritidae)
- 6: I'd agree with Tephritis neesi (Tephritidae)

Re: Tephritidae

The Tephritis looks like T. formosa.
