This is a small spot in its declining phase that swung into view at the eastern limb on August 12 and gradually shrank over succeeding days, finally disappearing around August 22, about three days before reaching the western limb. Notice in this image the nearly complete lack of any penumbra, as well as the grains clogging the umbrae.
