The pictures are a bit blurred, but yellow frons and only three postsutural dorsocentral setae point to Anthomyiidae. Coenosia (Muscidae) has also three ps dc setae, but no such yellow frons, I'm afraid... In Anthos, the anal vein should reach the wing margin, but this is difficult to see here.

Coenosia can have a yellow frons, but dc layout is 1+3.
I agree, this is an Anthomyiidae.
