Orthonevra for sure.
Don't know what it takes to get these to species. (It may be that markings on the eyes = O. nitida, but I'm far from certain.)

 
Hadn't seen this before, so...
I had just gone with the only one named here so far. I see there's a number of others floating around at the genus level that don't have the same markings. Neat group of flies.

 
I think you're right to species, but can't find evidence.
Checked other posts last night, but nothing turned up. I'll keep this one in mind.
