Doesn't look black enough to be woodi - dark phase Cape cobra ? |

I would say N. nivea based on clearer light colouring in photo no. 2. Lets see what others think. |

Looks like a dark-phase Naja nivea rather than a Naja woodi. |

Scale count of half midbody is at least 12, making total scales 24, N. nivea don't exceed 21. Scales are also in uniform rows, more commonly seen in N.n. woodi |
