Maths Puzzle 10 - Geometry

A friend once gave me this interesting puzzle.


The question is this:

Both figures seem to be identical. The shapes A, B, C, D seemingly are present in both and of same size in both (but in different locations). How is it that the bottom figure has an extra (dark colored) square?

Have fun.
