Please help me identify these tiny bugs that are appearing on my windowsill. It doesn't matter if the window is closed or open; either way they appear. I do have a few houseplants close to this windowsill but I don't see any bugs on the leaves of these plants. Thank you for helping me identify these and determine if there is anything I need to do.

My guess is they are some variety of black fly. Black flies are a common pest of mammals.
