Is this a fly or a mosquito?

Sorry to sound ridiculously stupid but what is this? My daughter has been bitten a lot on her arms and legs and I can't work out if it could be mosquito bites or fleas from the cat (which is regularly deflead).

Well that looks like a fly to me. Nothing like a mozzie. Does this help ? www.mosi-guard.com/articles/insect-bites-in-the-uk-identify-what-has-bitten-you-with-this-ultimate-guide

That’s a fly

Not a mosquito. I live in Africa and see a lot more of them than I’d like.

Thank you! I feel really stupid now as convinced myself it was a mosquito! Thank you again

What do you use on the cat? Some treatments are ineffective now.
