Northern Crescent? - Phyciodes

Northern Crescent? - Phyciodes
Seatac, King County, Washington, USA
September 1, 2007
Size: body 9mm approx
Found fluttering around Wild Carrot, Daucus carota, flowers.

9/6/07--This looks to me like a Northern Crescent, but according to my book, The Butterflies of Cascadia (1), the range doesn't include Western Washington.
Any help would be appreciated...I also have some more shots of this specimen if they would be helpful, they just aren't as close-up.
