Drosophila I.D.
This looks like the quinaria group species D. deflecta. It is similar to D. quinaria except that crossvein dm-CU is sinuate (instead of straight as in D. quinaria). Also the black dots at the end of each crossvein are far more distinct (more well defined and circular in shape) in this species than in D. quinaria.

Misplaced comment?
This is not the same as the other fly you made the same comment on.

Opps!
This may be in fact D. quinaria. The cross-vein does look straighter than in the other specimen, I was making comments on a few photos, I must have put the wrong one here. My apologizes!
