It's not a phorid but a chloropid of genus Thaumatomyia. Given the time and place it could well be T. notata, a species that sometimes appear inside dwellings in large numbers (presumably they are looking for overwintering sites).

Thank you Kahis. Realy it doesn't look like Phoridas I've seen, but I couldn't find any cross vein.

Occasionly I found the image of Chloropidae which looks like mine.
Name of genus is not very unpredictable - Chlorops sp.
Couple dosen species...

The size alone would rule out Chlorops.
