I wonder if someone could help me out with what I thought were female
Nemotelus uliginosus and
Nemotelus notatus that I photographed on a local site. Reading up on them revealed that both are flies of coastal/saline habitats which doesn't fit with where I found them. I am wondering if my IDs are wrong. If anyone could confirm/correct them I would be very grateful.
Nemotelus ?uliginosus. 2010-06-23. Leicestershire, UK. On unimproved grassland, several seen on Oxford Ragwort (
Senecio squalidus).

I find both species very locally on wasteground sites around Barnsley. uliginosus most frequently.

Many thanks for that. At least I'm not totally off-beam then.
Do my identifications look reasonable to you?
