I agree with Theo -- a male of Sarcophaga (sensu lato). The specimen appears to be rather large and has black terminalia, which in combination with the dark colour could indicate subgenus Robineauella (most common species = S. (R.) caerulescens). However, the wings are heavily worn along the hind margin suggesting a rather old specimen, and such aged specimens often get darker.
