Another crane fly with feathered antennae but different from the one I found recently.

I think it may be a midge now. It did seem a bit big for a midge and I have seen crane flies with feathered antennae but the body detail says Midge on further examination.Image #2: crane fly or midge?

1st probably either a housefly relative (Muscidae) or an anthomyid (Anthomyidae), red eyes probably the former, can't see the wing veins for family ID. 2nd is a male midge (Chironomidae); crane flies have non-plumose segmented antennae and a 'v'-shaped suture on the thorax back. Last appears to be a stumpy-legged juve orb-weaver. Nice set.
