Can anyone ID these?
I'm assuming Common Wasp, and at a guess possible a house fly?

Do house flies have red eyes?

It isn't a House Fly, but no idea what it is.

 

[Ficedula]

Not a house fly, which are rarely seen in UK now, and not even that family. Probably an Anthomyiidae fly, females rarely identifiable.

The wasp looks like Vespula germanica.

Hi. I think the wasp is a Vespula vulgaris, the fly looks like one of the flesh flies (Sacrophagidae)?

Having looked at photo on computer now wasp indeed looks more like vulgaris, although black post-genal mark very unclear.
Can you explain why you think Sarcophagidae rather than Anthomyiidae ?

Hi. Looking at it again, I agree with you, Anthomyiidae looks like the right family!..... Can't pin down the species though! I think the wasp is OK for a vulgaris though.

Can't pin down the species though!

You wont, even if you had it on a pin and under the microscope you probably couldn't get past genus.

Yep! You're probably right!😂 👍......... Annoying though!
