He's about 4~5cm and from Irian Jaya,Indonesia.
Both head and pectoral fin are orange.
I have ever seen a pic of this type in a japanese magazine.
Do you think he's a super onyx or black ocellaris?

Compared with the similar morph.
These pics are from a japanese magazine.
According to the description of this page,the clown on this pic is also a type of Amphiprion percula.

The eyes don't always tell you, but in this case, I think it's conclusive, dorsal rays is also not always correct, it can be 9 or 10 for percs or ten or 11 for ocellaris. It is still however a tough call.
 
The eyes are not a reliable way of defining Perc from Occ. There are so many different variations. The spines are the most reliable by far.
