Hello

Sorry if it looks like a sort of challenge... A single photo, from below....
These two small flies (about 5 mm) mating on a Cirsium on a dry fallow land, near an oak wood.

I thought that it may be some Conopidae but the abdomen seems too short. No other idea.
Thank you for help (if it's possible...)
