I think Paul was looking at the shape of the tip of vein Sc, which is bent as in Tephritidae. The rest of the wing is typical of Platystomatidae. The absence of fronto-orbital bristles also points towards Platystomatidae.

doesn't come through as well in the photo but it makes the vein bend looks more pronounced
than it actually is
