I believe the Tachinid is Gonia divisa, but can anyone name the Sciarid?

It is a female and thus normally unidentifiable, but many of those with yellow side membranes are Sciara hemerobioides. |

The Tachinid is Tachina sp. I do not think the two flies have anything specific to do with each other. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

Dear Phil, Thanks, I appreciate that it was/is a female, but I hoped the yellow and fuscate wings might produce something. Dear Xespok, Thanks, I will post a few other images of the Tachinid later, and yes I know they were not interacting, to the Sciarid the Tachinid was just in the way, it was only trying to walk over the Tachinid, while the Tachinid felt the Sciarid as just an annoyance, it shook it off just after this photo.
