Need a better photo. It appears to be a true fly. Likely a species of flower fly.

Thats about a good as it gets. I found more. Really small. Moves quick and hard to catch or kill.

Looks like a scuttle fly in the family Phoridae - http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/54733184

Are these related to "swewr flies" in any way? If so how?

sewer flies (aka drain flies or moth flies) are in an entirely different family, Psychodidae...
