Both from 2014-06-07 are
Notiphila, the most common of the few genera of Ephydridae with costa ending at R4+5.

Thank you John. There are a few similar looking species in the gallery. Is a closer determination possible? Regards, Ingo

It is female. Almost all diagnostic characters are lost on this photo, but if basal coloration of fore tibiae is really black. it is more likely Notiphila venusta (than Notiphila maculata).:)
