Philip was right about something:
In lower lit conditions (possibly woodland) or less light weather conditions (Late afternoon cloud, after sunny lunchtime) specifically, the territorial males, holding a temporary territory, flying up to intercept, possibly another Red Admiral, might be able to use (being an overall dark butterfly) a little bit more light from a white, reflected lit surface (slightly brighter). for a Red Admiral alighting on or nearby, social silence was in preference to aid focus of no movement, or minimal movement (I had the science).
