It is Atherigona OK, from speciec group with bicolor forehead, I but I can't be sure is it A. varia. In keys for Europe there is only A. varia with short description well fits for this fly. I have also Pont's key for Muscidae of Arabian Pen., but without A.varia in it, alas:(
From South Turkey I have another Atherigona specieses.
From Egypt, Luxor, agricultural vegetation around Nile I collected 4 more species of Atherigona. In ID of only 1 out of 4 I'm sure. It is Atherigona bedfordi - species with unicolor forehead and narrow infuscated apices of wings.

The first one (the first two) most probably is
Atherigona theodori,
but foretibia is too dark
