Hi,
Again I am uncertain about a small black Muscid. My guess is
Hydrotaea, possibly
H. ignava, but confirmation or correction would be fine. The first pics are from May, 2008, the second from this week. I hope both show the same species...
Thanks, Sundew

Fannia (note the flattened abdomen) - wait for Nikita.

Hebecnema nigra.

Great! Oh, these little black ones... I already had my doubts about the same species (and even genus), as the upcurving facial bristle of No 2 seemed to lack in No 1, but I'm not familiar with the distinguishing characters. So your help is unpayable!

Probably F.umbrosa, but without any guarantee..

Don't worry about the guarantee. As a hint, this name is very good for me!
Many thanks, Sundew
