Here is the second fly, this one photographed in a wetland (a pond that has mostly filled in with soil over the years).

Length 4.9 mm from the front of the eyes to the rear of the wings. The artista is plumose on the upper side only. Date 5 November 2006. West Virginia USA.

Are both flies Ephydridae?
