Northern OR Pearl
Northern Crescent was separated from Pearl Crescent. Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos) males have black antenna knobs. Northern Crescent (Phyciodes cocyta) male antennal knobs are orange. This looks like a Northern Crescent (Phyciodes cocyta).

Pearl Crescents
They sure look like Pearl Crescents to me, too.
