 Good day!
I have collected the following fly in Linz Austria, around a week ago. However, as I am quite new to this, I am having trouble determening the genus (I landed on Cyzenis, but I do not trust this). I would be glad to receive some help!

 Oh, and also I have found the following fly the same day - which looks extremely similar, but has 4 dorsocentral bristles behind the sutura. This really confuses me now.
