both of these were found at Glen Moss SWT reserve, Kilmacolm, Invercylde on 29th Apr. I think the second might be Lypha dubia?

Yes, I would say that the second is
Lypha dubia and the first is possibly
Campylochaeta but would be nice to see a specimen of that :)

The first one, the antenna is too big for Campylochaeta, esp. female.I'd say it is a Blepharomyia. You have 2 species in Scotland (pagana and piliceps), very similar in the female sex.

Blepharomyia is ok, I think I can see only two strong medial setae on tergite 2, what is usual for
B. pagana.
