It looks very similar to Musca domestica but: -It looks sligthly more darker -It was in my house in the winter (January). Can be another species? Musca autumnalis, M. vitripennis... not Musca... neither Muscidae...? Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain.  Thanks in advance! |

The colour of Musca depends on the temperature during development. So one would expect to find darker specimens during the winter. Color is not a reliable charactrer for these flies. It is a Musca, but I don't know which species.

Thanks Kahis! In that case, is most probably that can be M. domestica. I'm stranged about the apparition of this fly in the middle of the winter, but as I look it can be normal... |
