A Sleepy Orange.
Note bright orange on FW below and the open and drooping eyes of the little girl image made by the dark spots in the cell of the HW below.
Nice image and it shows the characteristics of this butterfly.

Thanks for your assistance Cliff. I noticed the orange color in this one but thought it was just a variation on the cloudless sulfurs that are always flitting around in my brother's back yard. Joe
