I think this is not Ulomya. But I can not help you further. I also observed this or a very similar midge recently in Hungary.

Many years later: the upper one is a male Pneumia nubila. The only species with such extensions on the 'nose'. Just before mating male and female touch heads, where maybe those extensions play a role.
The secons one I darenot say Pneumia mutua is a possibility.
