I think this might be Sarcophaga (Liopygia) ruficornis, caught in action ;-). Nice picture.

Genitalia - the aedeagus to be precise - are not visible enough for identification.
But the antennae are rufous, the acrostichal and dorsocentral bristles on the thorax are for the most part absent and the terminalia rufous, which al matches with S. ruficornis.

For a 100% id I need specimens or pictures of aedeagus.
