I know that Sarcophagidae are almost hopeless to ID without genitalia, but maybe there is hope: this fly was almost 2 cm long, never seen such a big specimen. Found it this Summer, on the island of Skiathos, Greece.

I agree with Stephane - this does look like S.africa - poorly developed anterior dorsocentral bristles, thick occipital "beard" of white hairs and red genitalia. I'm not sure that many other species have this combination.
