I guess these images show Hydrellia spp.

The top 4 are Hydrellia - not certain about no.5

I think the top 4 are H. griseola cf, the lower one H. albilabris cf.

Not H. albilabris - it lacks the silvery lunule characteristic of this species (see http://www.dipter...ead_id=746 ).
I suspect the lower one is actually Scatella paludum.
You can see the protruding mouthedge, and I think I can make out a couple of bristles on it.
