I'd say M.domestica

with so reddish abdomen?... Why not Musca autumnalis?

My feeling is also M. autmnalis. M. domestica males IMHO should have a broad frons and if the abomen is yellow, than the black markings are less distinct. Also M. domestica male is leaner. But I may be wrong.

I also would call this M. autumnalis, for the reasons Crex mentioned.
