No. Female (top) and male (bottom) of M autumnalis.

About male I have doubts.
I think it is Musca osiris
Rui, could you check at high-res photo is the eyes hairy (or send a fragment, please).

How can I differentiate the females of Musca autumnalis and M. domestica?

Nikita, why did the male raise questions about the species? What did you see?

This is the best photo I have of the eyes:
