With those wings it looks like it should be Tephritoidea. It is not Platystomatidae due to the subcostal break. It is not any of the four species of Australian Ulidiidae. It is none of the common subfamilies of Tephritidae because the subcosta is not bent strongly at the distal end. Pyrgotidae are usually weird-looking. There is one species of Piophilidae. I do not know what it looks like.
