Unidentified Fly

Flies like this seem pretty common in the woods around here. They do not bite in my experience, but sometimes they will land on me by the dozens and just walk around tasting. At least that’s what it seems like, as I see a little probiscus(?) coming down from where their mouth should be. It just touches whatever the fly is walking on and then the fly moves on.
