Hi Eugene, very difficult to say from only the lateral photos. I think both should be Myopa vicaria, which is the first Myopa to appear in spring and (on the second photo) has no adpressed ventral black hairs at the base.

Eric, many thanks. If it can help, I add from above photos, though of bad quality they are. Thank you else once.

Yes, these photos helped: I'm quite sure now that it's vicaria - compared to the images on Steven Falk's site.
