Sorry Barb, can't help with the ID. It is a fine looking butterfly and you have recorded it very well. I really like how you have captured the detail in the wings. I would like to see the white area in the URHC darkened a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Another beautiful butterfly, Barb. I especially like the interesting lines/markings in the orange areas of the wings. The detail is really good. I agree with John about the bright areas in the bg being too bright, especially the area just above the left wing, but overall very nice.
