Insect ID, please - I don't think it's a Soldier Fly.
All 4 pics are of one and the same insect.

This is a male robber fly (family Asilidae) - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asilidae. They are general predators on other insects.

Thank you, Flapdoodle, but I'm baffled about which species.
There are so many...

I think Fly (Robber, Black) Saropogon. spp.
