Same speceies? Maybe the female? This one is somewhat similar to C. concinnata.

They are all Exorista, the first two look like rustica-group, the last one I'm less sure.

Are these males? I had the impression that Exorista is a broad-abdomened genus. But apparently it is not.

I wouldn't call them 'long abdomened' but they are certainly not broad, like some other genera. But the quite bare, pale face with golden dusting and a dense ruff of white hairs behind the head is quite indicative :)
