I am not familiar with North American Hirtodrosophila. However, concerning your suggestion of ID I would be rather cautious as, to my knowledge, H. pictiventris has not been recorded from Texas as yet. Try following paper for determination http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/handle/2246/6898
or ask D. Grimaldi grimaldi@amnh.org
for confirmation.
That was fast. I sent a quick email, and he replied that it is definitely not Hirtodrosophila and probably Drosophila melanica.
