The upper one keys out to D. harcyniae. The lower on keys out to D. sudetica because of the black occipital bristles. In my own collection i have specimens with black occipital bristles from the Pyrenees, but the males turned out to be D. rufipes after study of genitalia. So nothing is sure...it is a female by the way.
