wow! curious fly! it seems to have a subscutellum. and the way m vein bents is curious. the eyes are not red-traffic colour... so it could be a very strange tachinid rather a sarcophagid. at least, this fly is very interesting!

maybe..
Wohlfahrtia magnifica larvae infest the ear, eye, and nose, damaging living tissues. W. magnifica is found in south-eastern Europe, southern and Asiatic Russia, the Middle East and North Africa. :o

Never seen any of them, but hen it comes to Sarcophagidae that might look different:
