Beautiful Photo
I agree Tim, it is a Bronze Copper, Lycaena hyllus. You may safely move to the guide page.

Now I have to go visit the Leadingham Prairie Preserve, hopefully they are still around!

One of the few butterflies I haven't seen yet in our area.

 
Thank you
for the confirmation, Jeff. I was there again a couple days ago (15 September) and they were still readily observable.
