These litle flies hover, staying in air for some time but are hard do snap. Here, a male and a female (with mites etween the eyes), resting. Hydrotaea is a proper place for them? Species ID posiible?

Hydrotaea (Ophyra) either capensis or aenescens. I suspect capensis. Any more images?

Could you give me the locality?
I'm asking because recently I have got series of O. capensis from 54.71°N 43.22°E. By the way, in my case it was near cattle burial ground.
