Hi,

is this Musca autumnalis?
Following me and sitting on skin and clothing.

Seewinkel, Burgenland (Austria)

definitely not Musca autumnalis. Notice the hairy eyes and narrow frons.
most likely a male Musca vitripennis.

I'll save you the typing effort:
further opinions are highly appreciated ...
