Hello,
Is it possible to identify these two rather small flies that feed on a Hypochaeris radicata (Asteraceae) flower head? Locality is the Baltic Island of Usedom in last August.
Thanks, Sundew

That's what I was afraid of (I named the picture file "antho" already...) - so there is not much hope for a name!
