A quick scan through the genitalia pictures in "Sarcophaga of France (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)" by Richet, Blackith & Pape, 2011 gives a fairly good match with Sarcophaga thirionae. In the text they give the Palearctic distribution as Algeria, Bulgaria,France (Corsica), Greece, Italy (Sardinia), Turkey.
