Thank you very much John Smile.
In Muscidae it's possible M. autumnalis ♂ or M. domestica but I found no picture with such deep black scutum?

if the eyes are hairy, then it is Musca osiris male. I see lines around the eyes of the photo when i enlarge it but i cannot say for sure.

Thank you very much John and Nini Smile. I add an enlargement of the eyes to the thread. But hairy eyes ... I can't see exactly. So I fear I have to be satisfied with the name Musca sp.
Greetings Kuv (I hope you get well soon)

Thank's to all.
