Hello! Two 2-3 mm flies from 7th October at the light (northwest Germany). Both Sphaeroceridae? Or Phoridae?

upper one is definitely Sphaeroceridae: short and dilated hind basotarsomere, wing venation and just general habitus. Can't see details of the lower one, but this is not Phoridae.

Thanks, Mike! I'm meanwhile thinking, if #2 could perhaps be Drosophilidae (Scaptomyza?).

First one could be a Leptocera, second most likely is S. pallida.
