It could be Australian walnut possibly, though the traditional wood to use for an inlay like that would be Madagascar Ebony but that is rather hard wood. It may be something they sometimes called "Orientalwood", I have no idea where that comes from, possibly Indonesia. Since it is just a thin inlay you could probably use any dark wood and it would pass inspection.
