Agromyzidae. Tubular structure at tip of abdomen is characteristic of most female agromyzids. Quite a number of the ones mining in grasses are blackish, I think.

Probably
Agromyza. A better view of the wing venation would help.

This is female
Agromyza sp., fall into groups species which mine on dicotyledonous plants. Perfect determination by pictures isn't possible. On
Mentha sp. mine in Europe these species
Amauromyza lamii,
Am. labiatarum, Chromatomyia horticola, Napomyza scrophulariae, Phytomyza petoei, P. tetrasticha.
