I think that may be Musca domestica, or, Musca autumnalis. But I will never distinguish.

Photograph taken on 18 October, 2014, in the wetlands of the Suárez Pond, Motril, Granada, Spain.
Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.

Apparent size with wings, about 9-12 mm

Thanks for answers !

In North America, Musca domestica would have more widely separated male eyes and M. autumnalis would lack orange on the female abdomen.

I see some relatively narrow-fronted M. domestica in the gallery.
