Doxocopa linda

one from earlier this year, definitely a different pattern from my other adelpha.
Apologies to wildflower, I was convinced it was an adelpha because of the upperside pattern.

  You are right, so I had another search ...
  I knew that it wasn't Doxocopa laura because all photos of it looked wrong ( orange and white areas)
  But since you put me on the right track, it is Doxocopa linda.
  
  If my dead slow internet lets me, I'll upload another view. BTW I have a blue patched one somewhere which looks like laura. I have to find it. Posted 9 years ago

    They look very right to me and the other photo confirms it - the tip of the forewing is yellow/orange while in Doxocopa linda it is dark. The clubs at the tip of the antennae are yellow while in Doxocopa linda they are dark.
