I think it is Lispe (Muscidae). To go further, it could be Lispe kowarzi, if there are no similar species in your area.

Thanks

The other Lispe in the area is in the attach photo
It's bigger and much less darker. and is shown in much larger numbers (thousands)

the current Lispe look alike is shown in much less numbers. I see only a few.

I think we can validate Lispe kowarzi for the first. Second one will stay Lispe sp. to me.
Nikita who knows L. kowarzi could probably confirm my guess.

I agree with L.kowarzi and L.sp for second one
