I was wondering if someone could confirm the ID of these two insects please.
The bee was tentatively identified by a friend as a male Hairy Footed Flower Bee, but I have no clue as the the Fly's ID, although I initially thought it was just a house fly, but appears to lack the four lateral stripes on its body...

TIA
