Definitely not
Musca domestica - no bend in the M vein. I suspect Fannidae.

Why not Anthomyiidae?

So, according to you it is Anthomyiidae rather than Fannidae. What is the main characteristic feature of Anthomyiidae? I still hesitate when I try to determine the family. I do not know how to separate the families from each other.

Anthomyiidae or Muscidae. The characters separating these two families are rather obscure. They were split only in the 1970s.
