Wild Indigo
I'm reasonably certain this is a female Wild Indigo Duskywing. Horace's should show an obvious spot at the end of the cell and a more evenly colored forewing.

Nick, I agree
since the cell end spot is absent.

Erynnis sp. a "duskywing" but
Erynnis sp. a "duskywing" butterfly. The large white spots near the forewing apex and in the forewing cell, plus the date, probably make this E. horatius, Horace's Duskywing.
