They are Metriaclima greshakei. I enjoy mine, plenty of pictures of them here:

I dont think that is what it is... Good guess but doesnt really look exactly like it to me.. maybe the last one is a metriaclima lombardio female..
Well you know my opinion on the matter, remember they have a wide range of looks:

Definitely no lomardoi in there anywhere. Just a tip, but cleaning the glass will help you get clearer pics 
From what I can see...and that isn't necessarily saying much, as the colour seems very weird in the pics, and its hard to tell...the female is indeed a greshakei. The male, on the other hand...well, it doesn't scream greshakei to me. Something looks off for a greshakei.
