Large Heath?

Hello,

Can I check that this is a Large Heath butterfly? I ask, as it was quite small - smaller than a Small White.

Sorry the picture is a bit blurry.

14:00 29/08/18 close to Whitendale, north of Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire. Wet peat moorland.

Thanks,

David

Have to say that looks like a Small Heath to me.

Me too. Large Heath is similar in size to Small White. A bit late, too, as Large Heath is unlikely to go beyond July.
