Thank you for taking the time to confirm.
The form and shape said V. cardui to me but the colour did not!

Found this yesterday but cannot identify.
Maybe just a strange colour morph of a common species (perhaps Nymphalidae, perhaps Vanessa sp.) but would love to know what it is.
If anybody could help, much appreciated.
Grassy, uncultivated meadow in Cornwall.
