[North Idaho] Small bug, about 2 or 3 mm in length, has wings, thousands of them on everything outside. Any idea?

Fish flies?
Looked them up, definitely a bit different. These don't really spread their wings, they kind-of scurry around surfaces aimlessly, and then if you try to spray them, or catch them, they jump/fly away very quickly.
They do seem a bit fly-like, but very very small.
The more research I do, the more I think they may be some kind of winged ant....
Springtails? These look identical:
