These two are Asilids and belong to genus
Dioctria. They are among the smaller and more slender species of robber flies, and prefer to hunt among grass on sheltered meadows, gardens etc.
Where were the photos taken?

If thse are from NW Europe (Britain/N France or thereabouts) my guess is:
1st pic: Dioctria baumhaueri ?
