Phyciodes tharos I think
These look like P. tharos to me, not P. cocyta. Even though the orange area on the hind wing is barely interrupted by the dark line, the overall pattern is typical of P. tharos. You can sort of make out one tip to an antennal club, which appears to not be orange (hard to be certain though). If not orange, this would point to P. thoros as well.
