Looks like a Familiar Bluet. I have a hard time with Familiar Bluet, Northern Bluet, Marsh Bluet and Stream Bluet. But I think it's one of those. :)

Blowflies are more like a large housefly, These look more like Damselflies.
Dragonflies rest with wings outstretched from the body. Damselflies rest with wings against the body.

Definitely dragonflies, or damselflies. A blowfly looks like a really big, nasty housefly, and buzz real loud when they fly. They prefer rotted, smelly locations.
