FWIW, I don't think that's a parasitic mite. It looks like one of the phoretic mites one finds more commonly on beetles (for example: https://bugguide....ew/1599928). In my limited experience, parasitic mites are bright red/orange and assume a different stance on the host (with their heads down and mouthparts buried in the joints between segments of the cuticle). |

Thank you Steve Scholnick and James! I was bit too quick too assume a mite equals parasitic. I adjusted the title for this. |

The fly looks like a Minillimosina sp.

From Gregory Kuwahara: "The very short discal cell with the crossveins close together is characteristic of Pullimosina heteroneura, along with the costa significantly overpassing R4+5." |
