Systoechus sp. ? for Bombyliidae.
For the other it seems a Rhamphomyia ? not sure. Paul will tell the truth. :D

The
Rhamphomyia is probably subgenus
Holoclera, including among others
R. nigripennis.

I don't know. I think it's not possible to know the genus... but the 'jizz' tells me
Bombylius sp.
