could either or both of these flies be Rhaphium? Or one of the other ones with long antennae, such as Syntormon? Both at the same location, but the 2nd fly is shorter and squatter than the first. To the naked eye, I thought the first was possibly a psilid and the second a phorid, so was amazed to see very similar antennae on both flies
