Cyprus Grayling

[Stevieb]

Reviewing my photos from Cyprus I came across this Grayling. I have plenty of photos of Cyprus Grayling Hipparchia cypriensis but this one looks different and perhaps Eastern Rock Grayling Hipparchia syriaca cypriaca or is indeed a Cyprus Grayling?

Below are two photos for comparison.

Many thanks in advance.

Cyprus Grayling Hipparchia cypriensis

Eastern Rock Grayling Hipparchia syriaca cypriaca?

I think this is cypriensis, from the shape of the discal line (sharply angled, with a 'flat top'). I can't see it as syriaca - but I'd love to be proved wrong.
