Interesting pics.
The second one seems completely black, but it is a trick of the light.
So indeed this is the female of obesa.

Thanks Theo.
Indeed it was the same specimen with different light.

It shows nicely that dusting is often best seen from above and slightly behind (dorso-posteriorly) :)

I think this one is a male of Phasia obesa. Is it correct ?
