This is a Sarcophaga genus fly, Sarcophagidae family. Common flesh fly. This genus occurs essentially worldwide. These flies are generally well-sized and of a greyish color like many of their relatives, the typical patterns are lengthwise darker stripes on the thorax and dark and light square dots on the abdomen. Many have conspicuous red compound eyes. Many species have adapted to humans, and while they are usually nuisance pests, some are medically significant vectors of pathogens and bacteria. Observed near Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR), Petén, Guatemala.
