Coordinator notes: It does seem black in the ventral HW area, but I've never seen "oreas" with tiny HW spotting. I expect more elongated spots. The extensive black on the HW suggests "gray", Only other comma with the pinpoint HW spots is the Green Comma. Also, that V mark on the HW should be more of a V than this.
