Good morning! Here is my last Empididae and #1 again. I would be very glad to hear some more names. Best regards Frank

Both are Rhamphomyia. Top one possibly of the sulcata group (impossible to identify with more detailed look), bottom one perhaps stigmosa. Both are males.

Well, believe it or not, after examination of the collected specimen, the top one turns out to be an Empis after all: E. (Anacrostichus) bistortae. The fork is not visible, possibly because it R4 just lights up and gets the same colour as the wing surface. However, following the course of R4+5, there is a clear bend where R4 branches of.
