The top one is Minettia inusta, one of the few Lauxaniidae with such an extensive and distinct wing patterns in North-Western Europe.

The bottom one is Pherbellia cinerella. Last weekend I saw hundreds of this member of the Sciomyzidae near Haarlem (Kennemerduinen) where I swept the from low herbal vegetation. Tho colour pattern on the frons withe the somewhat darkened wings make it easy to recognise.
