Hello! From what is visible and from your description of the behaviour I would say, this is a Musca autumnalis male. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

I think M autumnalis is called Face Fly in English.
