I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is Conisternum obscura (Scathophagidae).

Yes, that my doubt. C. tinctinervis is supposed to have sharply defined separation between yellow and dark areas on posterior femora.
Does-it have 1 intra-alar, difficult to see ? (Maybe they are broken because I think I cann see a dark point on root). The shape of 5th sternite could help too, but I can't see enough well on your pictures (it has a notch in C. tinctinervis). Only the darkened ta speaks for C. tinctinervis at time...
Stephane.
