This is a flesh fly (Sarcophagidae).

This is indeed a flesh fly, and it is a female of the large genus Sarcophaga (sensu lato). It is not possible to identify the species, but it would seem that it belongs to one of the subgenera showing four postsutural acrostichal bristles. Common species in Hong Kong would in particular be S. albiceps and S. peregrina. |
