Neotephritis?
I believe that this is Neotephritis finalis based on the hyaline markings near the apical edge of the pterostigma. In Tephritis the triangle is made of 2 pieces, whereas it is made of 3 pieces here.

Good point there! I agree with you... Although there are not many records from the East coast, but the species is there...

Tephritidae
This is a very nice pic of mating fruit flies (Tephretidae) I guess it is the genus Tephris.
