I've been confused over the identification of this calliphorid. I believe it is Stomorhina discolor. Could some one confirm please?

Yes, I think you're very close, it's looks more or less like our Stomorrhina in Europe. At least it is Calliphoridae, subfamily Rhiinae..

Thanks Gerrard. Stomorrhina is good. You corrected my spelling too.
