Rawson's Metalmark ? - Calephelis

Rawson's Metalmark ? - Calephelis
Duval County, Texas, USA
August 30, 2015
I believe that this is Calephelis rawsoni. Hoping for confirmation/correction.
This individual stood out from the other metalmarks in the area by its brighter orange of wings and body, in spite of its worn state. It also seemed a bit bigger, although I did not get to compare side by side.
Thank you for your help.

Looks good to me
Several of the Calephelis metalmarks look very similar. So far as I know, Rawson's Metalmark is the only one of those in Texas.
