 Hello,

I photographed these flies near the sea in Santa Margherita di Pula (CA) in Sardinia, Italy, on July 24th 2019. They look like Canacidae, but there are other similar families so I'm not so sure. Is it possible to identify the genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

 Ephydridae, Gymnomyzinae, I think.
