Hello!

I am just going through my older photos checking for unidentified species. Perhaps someone can help me with these Nematocera of whom I am even unsure about the families (except the first one, which I think is genus Tipula, maybe fascipennis?). Thanks in advance for any hints!

All photos were taken in Ostwestfalen/Germany on meadows near a wood or in our garden.

This one was about three fourths the size of a Tipula oleracea, photo taken May-21, 2005:

This is from May-24, 2004. Same species?

A darker, smaller, more slender species, photographed on May-25, 2003:

A rather small black and red species which visited umbellifers on August-28, 2004:

And again a spring species (May-01-05) visiting milkweed flowers in our garden:
