Coordinator notes: In "summer form." They can be easily confused with the Gray Comma this time of year. A "summer form" Gray Comma's HWs would not be as dark as this. The overly-darkened HWs of the "summer form" Eastern Comma obscure the lower center spot(s) on the HW , which help distinguish it from the Gray Comma in the fall/winter/spring forms. -jmgesell
