The second one, also taken today near another stream.
I believe that it is a member of Microdontinae. Can its genus be identified? Thanks!

Yes, it's a Microdon. It belongs to a group which will be placed in another genus when my new classification is published, but at present it is still a Microdon. I'm not sure about the species.
If you see it again or any other specimens of Microdontinae, I would be happy if you could collect them and send them to me.
Best wishes,
Menno
