That is the first fly I remember seeing that doesn't have the iridescent colors of most flies. Is it a different species? Sharp shot by the way and I like the background.

This is what we call a Grey Striper and it's another species of Blowfly.

Looks like it has almost a checkered pattern. Great detail in this shot.
