Need an ID for this new begonia

Northern California, CA(Zone 9a)

I found this at a garden center and it didn't have a name tag. It was in pretty sad shape and they sold it to me for half off. I'm pretty sure I can nurse it back to health. Just wondering if anyone knows it's name. (Butch? are ya there?)

This shot shows the largest leaves, so overall it is somewhat 'mini' in stature. I was thinking it's 'black raspberry' but I'm not sure.

Lali,
It looks similar to a couple we have, 'Passing Storm' and 'Strawberry Creme', but they both have highlited veins. Size, coloration and pebble texture are similar so it could be a sibling. This might give you a place to start. Good luck.

Chris
