I suspect that the following 2 images show the female and male of a small Tachinid species, that is very difficult to photograph. Could also be some kind of Rhinophorid.

First the female.

The male.

Which family do these flies belong to? One or two species?

I apologize for showing one image only, these are small and difficult to photograph flies.

Two species.
The first one is a TAchinid of the tribe Wagneriini, very distinctive as such but quite hard to ID at species level. I wouldn't go any further.

The second one seems to be a male Rhinophora lepida (Rhinophoridae)
