This small (4-5mm) fly is often found in forest, especialy near dung and carrion. It has very slow helicopter-like flight.

Hi Nikita,
O. glabricula is correct.
"is it known that this Hybotidae is larviparous?" - This fact is well documented. Let me know if you would like to have references.
All the best,
