Sarcophagidae, yes, but the fixed abdominal pattern and jizz suggest Macronychia - almost cetainly Macronychia striginervis. Nice fly! - One for the gallery?

Thanks Tony and Jorge for the ID- more than I expected Smile.
Jizz as in the immediate recognition of a specimen from the briefest of glimpses ? (Wikipedia).
Have submitted it to the gallery
