Can anybody ID this tiny black fly normally seen around the house in the summer. Does not look particularly black on the close up image, but looks very dark normall daylight.  |

I think this is a species of Drain Fly. Lovely name!

Evening Woody,
Yep!  Moth Fly is the usual one, though there are dozens of permutations floating around the Web.
Take care, Jason

Sorry Jason I made a complete Horlicks of my last post.
I wasn't asking for an ID on the image in my post just suggesting that the OP's fly was an Owl Midge.
Drain Fly, Owl Midge, Moth Fly - are they one and the same? |

Thanks to all you wise men out there. It looks like Moth flies, Drain Flies or Owl Midges are all the same thing.
I'll settle for Moth Fly, sounds the best of the bunch. | | |
