If I had seen it where Clark's are common, I would have called it a Clark's without another thought, but looking closely the black is certainly above the eye, but not as far above as it should be for a Clark's. So, I would like to see what other Tweeters have to say about it. Are Clark's ever seen in that area? If so, I'd feel more comfortable calling it a Clark's.
