Above the intake there seems to be a fence it doesn't seem to be a
spill for the intakes, So what is it?.

Fence? I though an aero fence was aligned with the desired air flow.
Can't say I *know* what those things sticking up are but
they look more like air bleed doors than aerodynamic devices.

Hey, maybe they're speed brakes. Or phaser ports!

You know, I was about 10 feet from that section of a Raptor at Andrews
AFB earlier this year. THERE ARE NO SMURFS. Nothing that even
remotely indicated either a retractable or provision for fixed
overwing fences.
