Black one, not sure if this is a separate species

You are right. This is a mixed group of roosting males. The larger black species with the yellow section in the flagellum is Euryglossa ephippiata.

@michael.batley They were very tolerant of each other, is that unusual? And are they all males?

Yes they are all males and it is quite common for roosting aggregations to contain more than one species.
