Fungus Gnat?
Hollis, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
October 22, 2007
Size: 2 - 3 mm est.
This gnat presumably matured in a collecting container that had some mushroom scraps in it that were loaded with several hundred spring*tails and some tiny r*ove beet*les. The mushrooms were collected in a mixed woods area.

I think this actually

I'd say you're correct. Thanks, Graham.
I spend very little time on flies so am predictably ignorant about them
