Probably
Megaselia. The hind tibia does not have a row of ventral setae. What you see is actually the right hind tarsus...

A good chance that this is
Megaselia scalaris, if caught indoors in a terrarium. However, any other species cannot be excluded.

Indeed caught indoors...mostly hidden behind bark of wood and now and then to see.
Thanks Joke
