Hello!

Yesterday night I had very many - mostly small - Diptera at the UV light (house garden, Ostwestfalen/Germany). I would appreciate it very much, if the forum members could help me with some. Thanks in advance!

The first two are shiny black flies, not sure if from the same species. The first one was about 3-4 mm long, the second one just a little bit smaller. I have no real idea about the family.
