Maybe Chrisomya albiceps, or perhaps Lucilia sericata? Both are known here; what are the identifying features?
Sorry for the low quality.


Most Chrysomyinae have weak hairs instead of distinct bristles on top of the thorax. Calliphorinae and Lucilia have typical muscoid bristles in clear rows much stronger than background hairs.
