This one looks like it should be distinct. I tried Google Lens on the photo, which hasn’t been working with your photos. It gives no answer at all. I signed up to be a tester for Lens a few years ago, so I submit feedback on how it “sees” things. It seems to be getting worse lately with some bug photos. There’s an image recognition app advertised by Google on our site. It looks foreign and I won’t download it.
Google image search works 99% of the time for me, but is often not reliable. I usually use it after I research the spider and guess, then check Google search to as part of the process. I may research into this more, as yes it does seem distinct and from my experience might not be Tetragnatha caudata.
This one I can’t verify. It’s a Tetragnathadae family. It’s also a Tetragnatha genera. At first I was thinking T.guatamalensis but that species can only be separated from T.veriscolor and others by seminal receptacal requiring physical specimen.

So marking and patterns don’t matter if you want to verify it down to exact species.
