These may be common but I have never seen them! Any help is much appreciated! Sorry for any unclear pictures. 1st is flower wasp? 2nd tarantula hawk? 3rd tachinid fly?

Bump
The first one appears to be a wasp in the family Tiphiidae - see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/31961863 for an example. The second one looks to me more like a bee than a wasp, and the third one looks like a hover/flower fly in the family Syrphidae..
