Well, I'm inclined to think that these are two species of the same genus, and the genus is probably
Brachydeutera - not one I'm familiar with, but according to Fauna Europaea there is at least one species known from Turkey.
The lower photo is female and the top one appears to be male, so there may be a gender difference in leg colour. If so, it is unusual in Ephydridae.
I believe Marina knows this genus. She should be able to help name the specimens. (Great pic, as usual! :p)
