Hi DPRees, fantastic photo. Will leave your sighting for @SuziBond to review. To my eye this appears T. phigalia, reasoning being: the form of the cell spot, the very dark central area of the forewing upperside and no yellow streak on fw inner margin.

Yes, I have stuggled with that specimen and also have doubts, having also gone one way and the other. If it is T. phigalia then it is crazy late for such a fresh specimen to be out and about, mind you, that is possible with a crazy year like this one.

Yes what an unusual season. However I think this is T. phigalioides as David suggests - lovely image of a fresh specimen David, thank you!
