Manual of Nearctic Diptera includes a key to families of fly larvae. Identification to genus, or of first instar larvae, will be difficult. MND does not have larval keys for the major carrion feeding families.

Books on forensic entomology should offer more details on the common species in human bodies. I have not read any of them.
