Hi
I find these in my bathroom only. The bathroom has a exhaust fan in the ceiling and a drain in the shower. The size is between an eighth and three sixteeths of an inch.

Hi Richard,
Interestingly, you had all of your answers built into your submission.  This is a Bathroom Fly in the Moth Fly (how you labeled your photo) family
Psychodidae.  They breed in the sludge that forms in pipes and the adults can become quite plentiful in rooms with plumbing that needs to be cleaned out.
