Then....
F Mixolydian Mode: F G A Bb C D Eb (F) - F7 chords
F Dorian Mode: F G Ab Bb C D Eb (F) - Bb7 chords
G Harmonic Minor Scale: G A Bb C D Eb F# (G) - D7 Chords

You can also treat the D7 as a D7alt chord and use the D Altered Scale...

D Altered Scale is also known as D Super Locrian - and it's the 7th mode of the Eb Melodic Minor Scale.
