It is its cousin D. carbonarius. Theodor didn't separate the two, both occur in Israel. Theo |

One is black (carbonarius), the other is black (nigritus).

The male of nigritus is supposed to have clear wings. These wings are clearly infuscated, so carbonarius. By the way: the eyes are touching, so it is a male. This feature applies to males only !! Theo |
