Nice pair of fossil flies. As I new biy around here, I hope that I do not tread on toes by offering two pieces of unsolicited advice.
I add two advices more: prepare amber plate as thin as possible and as flat as possible. Otherwise 2 veins may be parallel on one picture (as on your 1st snap) or diverging on another (as on the 2nd one).
Regarding ID, I doubt placement of the inclusion into Doli s.s. Antenna and hypopygium position are typical of Microphoridae. Also face is very broad for Dolis.
