Please, wait for an ID or at most move them to flies. You don't even know if this is a Syrphid, let alone Temnostoma.

I don't think this is a syrphid.
A clear shot of the wings would aid in ID. (Syrphids have an odd vein.)

asilid?
these (certainly picture three) look a little like asilids in the genus Atomosia... have a look at A. puella
