Something of the Fritillary family; perhaps Variegated.

Definitely a frit, though I'm not sure which subspecies.

You can always identify fritillaries by the letters "OSB" on the leading edge of the wing. Sometimes (like in this photo) you need to use a bit of imagination, but it's there.


Nice!  Can you recommend a butterfly id field guide small and light enough to take on QP trips?
