I can't see the characters in the pic, do you have any other angles and also more clear?

Sorry that I didn't take too much photos as it was going to rain at that moment.

I have doubt that they be Chloropidae, special about right one!! Maybe Lonchaeidae? I can't see any character like Chloropdae in them!! :S

Both are Chloropidae. Sara, FYI: Lonchaeidae have blackish halters and its wing venation is consistent with Chloropidae.

Thank you very much Paul. :)
Unfortunately this species is new to me and I haven't seen so far and also can't see the characters for ID them by key, so I just can say they are Chloropinae subfamily! :|

These are species of Thressa with unmarked wings. See other thread for more details on Thressa.

Best wishes,
