@RAllen that was just suggested on iNat as well and I think you're spot on. I am still not great sith butterflies and just take a stab!

I find I have to relearn each season, especially the alpine specialities. The series of orange and black “S’s” across forewing is fairly reliable field characteristic. But for me I always want a photo..
