Sure seems like the NW subspecies. In addition to the very dark plumage, including the cheeks, the tail band that is visible is narrow and appears incomplete.

Hi all,
I photographed a dark Merlin, in Pueblo West, this morning. It might be the north western US subspecies, though I'm not totally sure.
