WHAT ARE THESE?

Whilst out along my local footpath on Friday I spotted this unusual looking Cranefly, which stood out from the hundreds of others that took to the air with every step. I just wondered if anyone could put a species name to it as well as this rather attractive fly seen not too far away
Many thanks

The top insect could be a Ptychoptera albimana -

Not sure what the other one is though

the bottom one is, I think, the Hoverfly Ferdinandea cuprea.
