Found several butterflies feeding on this row of Ixora sp. Can some1 help to ID them?

On the last photo, there is a fly on the flower. Guess it is not feeding on nectar, what is it doing if not?

Thanks!

Look like you shot at Toa Payoh Town Park ?

1. Looks more like a Phaedyma columella singa (Short-Banded Sailor)
2. Anthene emolus goberus (Ciliate Blue)
3. Hypolycaena erylus teatus (Common Tit)
4. Looks like Pelopidas assamensis (Great Swift) - not 100% sure.
5. Catopsilia pomona pomona (Lemon Emigrant)

Thanks! It was in Punggol.

Did know that butterflies are also active in the midday. Guess should pay more attention to them in the future :)
