Hello,
a 4-5 mm fly in my bedroom today (northwest Germany). Perhaps
Scenopinus glabrifrons?

One more chance, please. Or is a positive ID impossible?

If there's a distance ≈ ocellus between the eyes (I cannot see for sure) it's the male
S. glabrifrons else
fenestralis

Thank you, Eric! One former
Scenopinus here was identified as
S. glabrifrons. Whatever that's worth...
I wish you all the best for the new year!

Hi Jürgen, for me it looks like the eyes touch, but the original photo could tell better. If they touch it's
S. fenestralis - I used Mike Hackston's key of 2022 and Oldroyd (1969).
I wish you all the best for 2023, too!
