I have doubt that they be Chloropidae, special about right one!! Maybe Lonchaeidae? I can't see any character like Chloropdae in them!! awkward

Both are Chloropidae. Sara, FYI: Lonchaeidae have blackish halters and its wing venation is consistent with Chloropidae.

Thank you very much Paul. Smile
Unfortunately this species is new to me and I haven't seen so far and also can't see the characters for ID them by key, so I just can say they are Chloropinae subfamily! Frown
