Butterfly on Sedum

I hope this picture posts properly because I'm having a very difficult time with it. I really think it's user error. If not, sorry, I'll try and repost.

I took this in my backyard this summer. I have not been able to identify what type of butterfly this is, so any help would be appreciated. The flower is a common sedum plant.

I'm sure it's one of the fritillaries but I'm not sure which one. The light through it's wings is a nice touch

Eric:
A very fine capture of this BF and the perch is nice as well. Good details on the BF and the backlighting of the wing is a plus. I don't mind the top of the wings been clipped but wish for a little more room on the right to get the wing tip in.
