Two flies -- what's the smaller one (and the larger one if it's not just a common housefly)

I'm not sure if this is the little guy or not. In any case, both times, there were quite a few flies this size around.

I'm still thinkin frit fly.
Don't know on the other, but it's a rather distinctive fly, which should help with its ID. Nice shot there!
