Well, it is sure Mintho is incorrect (has reddish sidemarkings, black-and-white thorax....).
First impression is that it is Sarcophagidae.
Sorry to disappoint you

With such setae on the abdomen?

We have had Sarcs with stronger setae.
The third antennal segment, however, is a bit long for a Sarcophagidae.
The pic is not good enough to say much more. I can't see if the eyes are hairy. If so, and if a spring species, it might be Phorocera.
But a lateral headshot would help !
