I'm guessing the one with the worry lines over his eyes is a male. What's he worried about?

C.misellus?
I have checked MCZ type database, and this has to be a Chauliognathus. With the Fender key, you end up with C.discus (which we have in the guide, looks different).
Possibility left is abovenamed species, compare type specimen - if we presume an all pale variety, it has to look like yours.

Maybe
Thanks for your efforts, Boris. My guess is that someone is out there who will easily recognize this species/variety. I'll try a few contacts.
