 Sphaeroceridae
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,

Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

 Scutellum looks the wrong shape fpr Sphaerocera and wing venation doesn't match, more likely Copromyza, possibly equina I think.

 thanks for your different ID. I cannot judge anyway, so maybe someone else can comment on that.

Best regards

 I do not stay firmly on my determination; it was rather an impression. Sorry for possible mistake.
