I'm sure I've seen this one before, but 'fly' has now joined the ranks of too many to search. Thanks

LOL
Tunnel vision - I tried searching zimlich + small + fly. Perhaps Lauxaniidae, in the neighborhood of Neogriphoneura?

Not the same
It is not the same species as your Neogriphoneura sordida and it may not be the same family. I see no postocellar bristles here.

White Face
I haven't seen any with a white "face" before. I recently added two 48" fluorescent UV lamps to my setup and I'm getting LOTS of flies I don't recognize, mostly quite small.
