Is this a fungus gnat? Microscopic view. Wings look different.

I saw this before in my previous grow, but I only say it once. This time I caught one. It doesn't appear to be a fungus gnat due to the pointed wings. If you google Fungus gnat, their wings are rounded. It's also not a flying aphid. Could this be just a random moth that came in through the door? That little blue line is the ruling of standard college paper. Very small! Thanks guys. Top and bottom view points:

We got lots of fruit flies and that ain't one.

Looks like a random bug so unless you see more don't worry about it. Put some yellow sticky traps in the pots or at the base of the plants and see what you catch.

Thanks for the help. guys. I'll come back if I start seeing more than just the one I caught. Likes all around! :D
If it is one set of wings for certain then it is a “fly” like a chironomid or something, but chironomids don’t have hyaline wings that I know of. If you can get better pics I would take another crack at it.
