more Oestodes tenuicollis? Is the female the darker specimen? Thanks in advance!

Moved, Oestodes tenuicollis
Moved from ID Request.

 
Thanks once again for the ID help
Blaine- is the darker specimen the female?

 
the one on the right is the female
(more robust pronotum, less serrate antennae); color variation in this species is not sexual dimorphism

 
I appreciate you taking the time
to answer my question- thanks Blaine!
