Captcha Solution

Hi all, i stumbled over this captcha:

1q6/8/4q3/8/3K4/p7/kp6/8 b - - 0 1

Black plays; checkmate in one move, right?

I think this is not true - or do i miss something?

Isn't this 1...♛b8 2 ♔d4-d3 ♟b2-b1(♛)#

Thanks for any hint and best regards, Karl

@#5 ...my pleasure. And as a side effect i need to solve all this riddles ;-)
You are correct that it's not a mate in one. Qbd6 is not mate as the King can go to c3. (Is the board upside down or are the colors switched? Either one would make it a mate in one.)
Next copy the game link to make it easier to see the board.
@#8:

"Is the board upside down or are the colors switched?"

No.

"Next copy the game link.."

It wasn't a game link. Just a captcha. Too late. I missed this. Next time i'll make it so ;-) But i guess it is impossible to link to a captcha.

The captcha has a link to every one of its mate in one puzzles. It says Help: (Link is here) to the right of the puzzle
