1 - Conopidae - Conops sp.

2 - Dolichopodidae.

ONE FLY species per thread!

On the first one:

Are we sure it's not Leopoldius ?
If Conops, the yellow scutellum suggests scutellata-group

yes, Theo it could be a Leopoldius. I think a lateral shot of the head would help to be sure. The wing venation is not clear in this photo.
