Dear experts

The following are some Robber Fly pictures taken primarily in Singapore, unless the location is specifically noted. I will divide them into 3 posts, so as to reduce the loading time for each post. I wonder if the experts here can help me identify them?

I am a newbie here, so if I did not do things properly, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
Loong Fah (that's my personal name)

Anyone recognize these? I'll get us started:
5a, 5b, 5c, and 6 are all Ommatiinae, possibly Ommatius itself, but I don't know SE Asian taxa.
