Are you certain?
I'm no expert, but my understanding is that there are several very similar species, and that E. funebris has larger palps and more slender antennae than the others:

Thanks!
Ken, if it is not that species, I will be glad to move it. Glad I had a face photo. I do have several other photos, tho that face pic is the best for showing antenna and palps.
Will be interested in any other comments on which species it is.
Should I put it in the Genus level rather than that species?
Thanks for your help
Moni

It's entirely your call...
...but I would suggest moving it to genus for expert review.
