From Wikipedia (PLEASE SUBMIT A CORRECTION IF THIS IS WRONG!):

Phrygian dominant scale
A Phrygian dominant scale is produced by raising the third scale degree of the mode:

E Phrygian dominant
Mode: E F G♯ A B C D E
Major: 1 ♭2 3 4 5 ♭6 ♭7 1
Minor: 1 ♭2 ♯3 4 5 6 7 1
The Phrygian dominant is also known as the Spanish gypsy scale, because it resembles the scales found in flamenco music (see Flamenco mode).[citation needed] It is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale. Flamenco music uses the Phrygian scale together with a modified scale resembling the Arab maqām Ḥijāzī (Katz 2001) (like the Phrygian dominant but with a major sixth scale degree),[citation needed] and a bimodal configuration using both major and minor second and third scale degrees (Katz 2001).

Phrygian Dominant is what I get. Weird.

Oh, so Phrygian dominant is the "fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale" which I've worded as "F minor Mixolydian", not knowing how that works.
Same scale but I guess I just learned the name for it.

I play flamenco all the time without formal knowledge of the scale. I’ve just played it enough to improvise in those scales.

I just remembered why I never got that formal music education

I'm blissfully joyous in my ignorance !

Root, flattened 2nd, major 3rd, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, flattened 6th and flattened 7th

In C it's C, Db, E, F, G, Ab, Bb

Mixolydian (b9, b13) - an inversion of F-harmonic minor.

Or yes, phrygian dominant. Will work like a charm on almost any V7 (dominant 7th chord) going to Im (Tonica minor).

It sounds like an oriental F minor, but they suggest a Phrygian dominant scale:
