Perhaps a female musca domestica.
Taken today in Lebanon, Ct. USA
Temp ~38-40 degrees F.

Muscidae female, but not Musca domestica. It would be nice to see the wing venation to see if it can be Musca.

Muscina (red tip of scutellum) and I think M. levida

Here is the wing shot you requested. Hope this helps. Not a great photo, but shows the wings pretty well.

Muscina levida seems correct, but I don't know all the nearctic species.
