Fuzz-encrusted Blow Fly - Lucilia Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA August 27, 2008
Based on the green back, this must be a blow fly. My first thought was immobile honey bee.
The summer, through mid-August, was wet.
Probably Lucilia sericata as that seems to be the standard blow fly in the area.
