The rear delt fly isolates the posterior deltoid by hinging at the hips and raising the arms out to the sides in a reverse-fly arc, also recruiting the rhomboids and mid-traps. Keep a flat back, lead with the elbows, and squeeze the shoulder blades only lightly so the rear delts stay loaded rather than the upper back taking over.
