07.10.2006, found dead on a doorway's window in my block of flats (some of my neighbours pick tons of mushrooms, so that may be the source). Size around 2.5mm.

I was always jelous of your balcony and windows. Nice fly.

Gampsocera numerata (Chloropidae). I have not been this one before but the spotted wings are pretty much unique in the family.

Many thanks Nikita and Jere - yes, the spotted wings that's what I searched in the key and what helped to make my guess.
