Can't help with the ID but they're great shots of a wonderful wasp. The black fly is pretty good as well

lol, you are right - only the top of the head differs! Mine moves with wings folded, the other two have wings apart but maybe thats not important. Oh well, Paper or Spider probably.
Another I would like ID'd, this from last August. Colored bit like a male Velvet-ant:
