Hayhurst's Scallopwing For Illinois In May - Staphylus hayhurstii - male

Hayhurst's Scallopwing For Illinois In May - Staphylus hayhurstii - Male
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
May 9, 2007
Size: Approx. 1 in. wingspan
This resembles a Common Sootywing, but I don't think it is one. The wings on a Sootywing are rounded, where these are scalloped. Plus this one has speckles all over it.

It's a Hayhurst's Scallopwing. Nice shot!
