This Tephritid was caught in a malaise trap in Townsville, QLD, Australia. Can anyone suggest a genus and species?

Could it be Bactrocera cucumis?

Sorry Gerard, I have nothing to do with the Dacini. This is the world I touch and go. There are monographs and keys by Dick Drew with co-authors, which you could try by yourself.
