Duskywing
I have a lot of trouble with these. It's a duskywing. It doesn't have the markings indicated in Kaufman for Juvenal's or Horace's. The brown patch at the cell end seems to match Zarucco, but it doesn't appear to be quite in your range.

So maybe a male Wild Indigo? That was the only one that really seemed to match for your range and the markings. That's my best guess.

I agree
This looks like a Wild Indigo Duskywing to me, too. The very darkened basal halves of the wings that look almost black are perfect.
