American butterfly for ID

Post by David M »

Had this one in from Colorado, US. I don't have a book on north American butterflies, but if someone reading this does possess one and would like to offer an ID I would be most grateful.

Hello David

It looks like Great Basin Wood Nymph - Cercyonis sthenele - to me - Butterflies Through Binoculars The West by Jeffrey Glassberg.
