Chrysomya??
Unfortunately, I did not collect this specimen, and I was not able to key it. Having spent many an hour looking at tiny details through a dissecting scope, I'm not very comfortable keying from photographs. I need to be better about collecting vouchers, and running them through the Manual of Nearctic Diptera.
