Horace's Duskywing

Here's if photo of our newest butterfly, Horace's Duskywing. Its a poor photo but I think it does the job. This is the first of this species I have seen, at least that I know of. If my ID is incorrect I would certainly appreciate constructive correction. This is only our third native lepidopteran identified and showed up at the new coneflower patch.
