The top one is quite easy. In this part of the world there is only one larger species of Empis that might remind you of a Bibio and that is this one: Empis ciliata, the female has these distinctly feather legs.
The second one is more difficult. It is a species of Rhamphomyia, as there is no fork in vein R4+5. It may be a species of the R. sulcata group but it is hard to say because too few details are visible in this dorsal view.
