For better overview and clearer discussions I'd suggest that next time tou spread them over four different threads.
1. Sphaeroceridae;
2. Keroplatidae (
Macrocera);
4. Ceratopogonidae.

3. Probably Coenosia mollicula, very variable species. In the forum, I found also similar one with yellow flagellomere (added by Nikita):

Both could be females of the same species.

The
Macrocera could be
M. stigmoides, quite widespread in the UK.
