Tiphiidae - possibly Meria or Myzinum?

Thank you :)

So they could be the same specie?

They don't look like the same species to me - there are quite a few differences visible (leg colour, amount of yellow on thorax, scutellum, antennae held differently), but I don't know this family at all, so don't know the likely variability.

The second is Halictidae Halictus near sexcinctus male,I think.
