 These were photographed at night at a lit window. Looking through the Gallery, the only flies that seem similar are Hippoboscidae. On my Checklist are one species; Ornithomya chloropus. Can anyone confirm?

 NO, I can deny.

This is some Acalyptratae, like Heleomyizidae or something.
Change the title and try to get the attention of those experts.

 Thanks guys,for putting me right (again).(Kelp flies).I have C.frigida on the list. These were photographed at the Airport I work at,which is situated by the sea. I haven't noticed them there during the day. Must be attracted to the security lights at night.
Regards Roger

 Yes, I'd agree with C. frigida, though you have flagged up an interesting case of convergent morphology - flattened shape, greasy apearance and small eyes.
