Systoechus sp. ? for Bombyliidae.

For the other it seems a Rhamphomyia ? not sure. Paul will tell the truth. Grin

This is an amazing picture! How could you freeze the motion?

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.
