Small fly, approximately 2 mm long.
Inside a flat in the city center of Motril, (Granada, Spain), on June 5, 2025.

Thank you very much for your help. Smile
I'll edit the title to see if anyone can complete the ID...
I've collected the specimen, so I could take more photographs to help determine its ID and even send it to a specialist who might be willing to study it firsthand.

Best regards.
José Marín.
