Hi John.
1. Australian Piophilosoma (=Thyreophora) antipodum Osten Sacken, 1881 looks quite different: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4130228505
2. For me this fly has some Calyptrate jizz, because of t2 with 2 pd and 1ad setae. And frons looks like that of Fanniidae. One more unusual character is closely approximated crossveins r-m and m-cu, like in Carnidae.
3. I changed title to attract Tephritoidea expert. Let's wait for their opinion(s).
