Eristalis and Syrphus?

[valdf]

Hope I'm at least right with the genus - though it's by no means certain!

This I think is Eristalis sp. (2 photos of the same insect):



And are these Syrphus sp.? (3 different insects):







Thanks,

First is Eristalis tenax female, the hind leg looks dark and inflated and the front tarsi are black.

The rest are Syrphus sp. females, the middle one looks to have yellow hind femora which is S. ribesii.
