Not sure what they are. They look like a common house fly, are equipped with an afterburner to evade the fastest swat, and can take a chunk of meat with one bite. We used to see them out on the boat, whether in a cove like Robert's Cove or drifting in the Broads.
Bottom line, regardless of their actual name, they are nasty.
