Tiny fly on the wall. Grin Minas de Riotinto, Huelva; February 10, 2023.

Looks like Chloropidae, but I am never sure with these. Frown

Chloropidae, Oscinellinae: Siphunculina sp. The short R2+3 vein and the spiny short macrochaetae are typical for the genus. Typical for this species are also the three grey-dusted spots on the orbit along the upper eye margin.
