Hi, Smile
A few days ago I had these little flies on a visit late in the day at dusk time.
They were with three or four, and constantly on the move walking all directions swinging with their vertical implanted wings, it was hard to get some reasonable pictures as they were high up on a glass pane of the big glass door.
I've been searching in the gallery in all probable families but didn't find a match.
Can anyone help me out with this one, thanks a lot!

One of my favorite flies Smile. When found, it is often on windows, often indoors.
