The wing pattern resembles Anthomyia punctipennis but the thorax looks different.

Thanks John. Anthomyia punctipennis is abundant in the same area, however, it is not only thorax difference. The male frons is very different comparing with fly at image, The black spots at wings are much bigger then ones from punctipennis in the area

I'm sure it is Muscidae. Yes, Helina is the best guess, I can't say more.
