Insect identification?

We had a great walk to Alrewas to the Coop yesterday. Rachel was a little concerned about these buggers.....

They hover around in gangs and have what looks like a stinger hanging off them but I'm sure it is not. It would be interesting to know what they are?

I have no idea what they are but we have them all over the Shroppie at the moment, ugly little devils aren't they.

A bit of my own research and I think they are Dance flies...
