Calliphoridae(?) at the toilet. Further ID possible? Spotted in Suriname.

Thank you both. For someone who photographs and tries to ID everything from slime molds to monkeys and everything in between, Withworth's key is unfortunately too technical; I simply don't know the technical jargon for dipteran morphology. Besides, I only have photos, no specimens (no permit).
But knowing that it is some
Lucilia already helps quite a lot. |t
