Hello!

I fotographed these two syrphid flies today on a meadow near a small forest in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Can someone be so kind to help me identifying them? Thanks in advance!

The first one was rather tiny (6-8 mm):

A little bigger (somewhat between a house fly and a small Eristalis) the second one visiting Taraxium blossoms:
