As the frontal vitta is less than three times as broad as one fronto-orbital plate, it cannot be
Musca domestica. So it is a female of either
M. autumnalis or
M. larvipara. According to the check-list of Norvegian Muscidae (
https://www.resea...ae_Diptera) you have only
M. autumnalis (and
M. tempestiva that has a fully black abdomen). So
M. autumnalis remains - nothing new for you (
https://diptera.i...d_id=87233).

Thank you so much! You are right. It looks pretty much like the fly from October 1st. But the head seen from the top is more flat, I think…
(Although it is not that rare to find new fly species to Norway)
