Is it possible to know something about the identity of this little fly, less than 2 mm long?

Photograph taken on 8 October, 2019 on the bathroom mirror of my home in Motril, Granada, Spain.
Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.
Approximate size, no antennae or tails <2 mm

Appreciate your cooperation for identification.- Smile

Sphaeroceridae Limosininae. Even at that size it can be a number of genera but I am not willing to suggest any one in particular.

Thanks for your reply. Although I have ticked the box to receive notices, I did not receive the email notice of your comment, and I have not been able to see it until now.
I kept the tiny insect in alcohol, if you have any interest in your direct observation, I can send it by mail.
Best regards

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
