Chris, thanks for your sighting. Fortunately we can id this one for you. Just a tip, however, from the categories guide: 'When taking photos of butterflies, it is most helpful to obtain images of both the upperside (dorsal) view of the wings, in addition to the underside (ventral) view of the wings. This makes the identification process much easier for some of the hard-to-identify species.'
