just looked up my own notes
the comment said that the spots are what separate it from the Small Engrailed. Sorry I don't have a link to comment. Well, take everything I say with a pound of salt anyway.

Thanks,
Karolina, that ID looks correct to me, also.

I looked up similar one just yesterday
might it be a Porcelain Gray?
I remember seeing something in one of the comments about the "distal" spots, I think it was, being near the middle of the hindwing, or something like that... hmm.... probably shouldn't be posting this...
