Hello,

I guess that it is always Lonchaeidae. Maybe not yet fully grown up (Pic 3,4) or uncoloured (Pic 5,6). Perhaps different species? Fly Pic. 5,6 a male animal?
All flies were found in the same place.
Location: Northwest-Germany, wet Meadow, small stream with deciduous trees, size about 5 mm, photes from 03. and 07. May 2018,

Greetings, Konrad

yes Lonchaeidae, Lonchaea spp Photos 3-6 show specimens newly emerged from the puparium - they all look like females
