Hi Everyone
Back from a week working in India! Both pics are of Ectemius species. I suspect the one from the "unknowns" file is E. continuus, but the other could be one of several closely related species within the genus.
These guys catch various Diptera with which to provision their nests

I meant to add that they are, of course, wasps. |
