Photographed today at Leerdam, Netherland.
Nrs. 1 and 2 are the same individual, nr. 3 is another individual, but it looked very similar to me.
Pretty small flies, about 6-7 mm (? guess).

Could anyone say something about it? Thanks in advance!

I'd say rather 'a-typical' Chironomidae...

Hello, Jan!

Dilophus febrilis females? But better wait for the experts.

Definitely not Bibionidae. Wink

The more flies I try to identify, the more respect I get for the experts on this site Sad
Fortunately I can still say I'm just a beginner.
Thank you, Paul and Juergen!

That would have been my second guess Cool (overlapping posts).

Female Chironomidae, I would say this midge looks rather typical, as far as the black female Chironomids (many many species) are concerned.
