Looks like Meiosimyza, the most common autumn species is Meiosimyza rorida.
To be sure - collect and find short av spines at apex of f1.

av - anteroventral
f femora, t tibia, t3 hind tibia, f1 fore femora.
If you look at your mind at fly from dorsal side and put (also at your mind) all legs at 90 angle to body aside - than low directed setae will be ventral, ahead - anterior, half v - half a will be av (as south-west, for example, in geography)
