Andre s suggestion is understandable, but it actually is Mintho rufiventris (Tachininae: Minthoini).
Distinguishing features:
thorax with 2 broad black vitttae, abdomen distinctly laterally compressed, reddish as sides. Wing: topcel closed, bend of vein M with a long appendix.

Mintho rufiventris is not uncommon, mostly encountered on windows and walls !
