Male Fannia canicularis. Look at the typical wing venation Sc, A1 / A2, and flattened abdomen. And typical behaviour in your living room ! :D

Thank you Stephane, my first opinion was Fannia but I thougt the 'Sc-curve' had to be some stronger. In The Netherlands they are called ''little houseflies''..
