It belongs to family Phoridae. I have seen a few phorids like this and they belong to genus
Phalacrotophora. The life history of this genus is known quite well, since the larvae are endoparasites of Ladybird Beetles (Coccinellidae) and these beetles are of economic imprtance.
The adults are typically found on tree trunks.
