They look black but I don't buy it: the specimen is much too grey for aterrima.
I think this is H. borealis, it should have indistinct greyish markings on tergites.

The wings are a bit in the way, so not the best picture

Thanks. It is definitely NOT aterrima and it is not kaurii either, so borealis should be OK. Nice find !
