The most common fly you will see is Drosophila suzukii. The male has a black spot near the wingtip. The female wing is clear. This species is in the species group discussed in the paper you linked.

I think only males of some Sphenometopa have wing spots.

Many species have sexual dimorphism in pattern or intensity, for example most of genus Chrysops and one of the European Rivellia.
