Hey Jonathan,

The closest to a recognised sub species is Testudo Hermanii Peloponnesica an isolated population in Greece. They are very dark in colouration. I have a male that is almost completely black.

If I remember rightly either the Romanian or Bulgarian populations are considerably larger than other THB but not to the extent they'd be considered a sub species.

Danny's guide to the Horsfield sub species is here:
