Must admit i thought initially this was Sarcophagidae but closest thing in the gallery seems to be Anthomyiidae: Eustalomyia species.
Taken yesterday South coast Uk guessing about 13mm body length

Looks good! From Michael's key I think it's either
E. festiva or
E. histrio. The anteroventral setae on the hind tibia should tell you which - the former has seven, the latter twelve. Also
festiva has the arista (short-)haired, whereas in
histrio it is only pubescent.
