The large one (about 10mm) I believe it is a
Empis opaca. What about the tiny one?

Based on jizz probably a female Ceciomyiid, but no definitive feature is visible of the fly. (This is true obvioulsy for the small fly.)

There is also an out-of-focus thrips between the dance fly and the gall midge. :D

Pauk, in fact there are three of them around. Are you sure that they are thrips and not something else like a Meloid beetle fist instar larva, which should be also common during the Empis season.
