This guy looks like he can't decide if he's a fly or a mosquito (too big for a mosquito)

Not sure on that one Ian. Looks like a cross between a horse-fly and a robber fly? Definitely a biting fly of some sort. Not a mosquito.

Thats a really nice profile shot.

Thanks! He's much smaller than a house fly but several times the size of a mosquito.

This doesn't look like anything weird to me. Just looks like a species of Dolichopodidaie (long-legged) fly. Here's one that is very similar in stance and appearance...only main difference being the hair and possibly eye color.
