Pepper Pest or Disease?

Any ideas what the spots might be:

Best;
bluey

Something chewing on it? (Best guess. Might be flea beetles.) Non-fatal
to the plant.

DICE,
Not being chewed, near as I can tell. I pulled off offending leaves, only tiny leaves left now

Best;
bluey

Cornell lists a bacterial spot of pepper
( http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.corne...epper_List.htm ),
but those lesions are huge compared to your pictures, which
look like flea beatle bites on tomato leaves. (I do not even bother
to cut those off, since they are not infectious and still contribute
quite a bit of photosynthesis.)

Looks like what flea beetles do to my eggplants.
