Yes on pearl crescent
At least from what I can see--here on BG, as well as in my field guide (Brock & Kaufman). I think you may have a male based upon the more muted colors and lines on the undersides of the wings--but the crescent sure is nicely visible on the hindwing! Nice photos.

Pearl Crescent
Nina,
Thanks for the comment. I was pretty sure it was a Pearl, but I'm new at this so any confirmation makes my day. I liked your pics too!
