I’m looking forward to some different wasp species this season (I I can find some lol)

Anyone know the species? Found near San Jose in Costa Rica.

Found this beauty in Costa Rica but sadly it was briefly 😥

I must admit they camouflage very well with wings closed
I’m thinking Dock bug / Coreus marginatus.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. This is a first for me although probably common it shows that my vision for insects is widening.
OM1 mkii and 50-200mm PRO+MC-14+ext tube
I took this a a focal length of 178mm so tele was pointless 🤣
SS1/5000 F9 ISO2500
This one was moving mighty fast in flight and at 1/3200 shutter speed already and not that much natural light I would have possibly have frozen them at 1/5000 or 1/6400 but would have probably lost details due to fstop or too much iso. Someone has identified it as a short fringed mining bee.
Who am I?
What type of bee is this?

SS1/3200 F7.1 ISO1250
I always thought these were males 🤔
Because they chase down the more colourful actual males and attack them from behind. Can anyone explain their behaviour to me please?

Here comes the BOOM!
This lens is really starting to excite me as I bought a couple of cheap macro rings. I can’t wait to stop down some more in better light for some real details. Subject is a hairy footed flower bee which is a good spring 🐝
