Not an expert
But it looks like Acalyptratae. That's as far as I can go.

Maybe Leaf Miner Flies (Agromyzidae)


Maybe Frit Flies (Chloropidae)


Who knows! (I'm guessing Frit)

Excellent examples, John.
While no expert, I'd say Leaf Miner because of the smaller size of the yellow triangle. (Hopefully, I learned from my mistake, shown in the thumbnail above.)
