Here's another pair of Diptera from my "unidentified" folder. Can anyone help? As always, photographed near Rome in Italy.

This picture may be hard as the fly is quite small, but I was actually taking the euphorbia at the time and really noticed the fly only afterwards!

Thanks a million, Sarah

The first I think is a species of Anthomyia, the second is a Lonchaeidae, possibly Setisquamalonchaea.

Thanks Paul Smile. I'm busy preparing other "mysteries". Just hope you don't all get tired of me! Sarah
