Who knows?
I doubt anyone could tell you from images alone, except maybe an expert who has seen hundreds of specimens. I had to key out some just to genus last year, and the characters needed to get that far are minute, and not visible here (things like orbital bristles, for example).

Thanks, Eric
Sometimes, it's good to know what can't be known.
