 Hi Shar,


No, these are Sciomyzidae. The elongated antenna, especially the second segment, are a jizz of most Sciomyzidae.
An expert might tell you the genus

 I think it is Dichaetophora.
1. It may be either Dichaetophora or Limnia, but jizz for Dichaetophora.
2. It looks that there are only two setas on scutellum and this setas directed up, as it has to be in case of Dichaetophora.
