Good picture, flies usually buzz off by the time I can even turn on my camera :P That black and white pattern on the thorax means this is a kind of fly from the genus Sarcophaga, also called the flesh flies (a wonderful name, right?). I think it's fairly impossible to get to species level in flies, so Sarcophaga sp. is about as accurate as you can get!
