Well, this looks very much like a Sarcophigidae Sarcophaginae. Even in the New World.... Theo |

Thanks Theo and Jorge, I was fooled by the large setae on its rear end. I believe this is my 1st Sarcophagidae |

 We have lots of Sarcophagidae! Usullay they like to be on bridges!  I have seen lots of sarcophagid flies there.  |
