If the phorids are all one species, then I think the first picture shows a teneral individual, where the wings have not fully expanded, and the body is still pale in colour.
In your last picture, it looks like the abdomen may have some blunt bristles. this would suggest possibly Megaselia rufipes - a very common species that breeds in a wide range of substrates.
