Are they gnats?

I've found 2 different flying critters on my outdoor plants that are in hempy buckets, I live by a marsh so theres always bugs around but they dont seem to be doing any damage however im concerned they might. Can anyone identify them?

The first bug I noticed has the same body type as the one pictured, however it is black and has white stripes diagonally across its body. I've knocked 3 off so far, an apparent adult yesterday and 2 today.

This bug in the picture I just noticed an hour ago. There was an adult around the rim that flew away as I removed the small one.
