help identifying type of philips head on this screw

Hi guys. Sorry if this thread doesn't belong here.. pulled out some screws from an aftermarket speaker and need to order a few more...

I'm trying to identify what type of philips head these screws are? From wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw#Shapes_of_screw_head , I guess it's a pan head maybe? Also.. these look like sheet metal screws, correct? Thanks for any help!

what you have there are phillips drive, truss head, self-tapping sheet metal screws in black oxide color. you can get them at any fastenal store, they may not have them in stock but they can order them for you.

I would use basic black oxide drywall screws if i were you tho, looks close to the same and available by the box at even most larger supermarkets!

Drywall screws are of the countersink type. They wouldn't work. This is more of a finishing screw.
I like the idea of using the silver type and painting it black. As a last resort of course.
