Boisduval's or Mexican Yellow?

Boisduval's or Mexican Yellow?
Ramsey Canyon Preserve, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
August 27, 2017
Saw quite a few Mexican Yellows, but this one, seemed a bit different. The shadow bleed from the dorsal side doesn't have any dogleg and seems more in line with Boisduval's Yellow. Also the Central uhw spot is quite bold.

Mexican Yellow...?
So are you thinking it's a Mexican and NOT a Boisduval's...?

Thanks..
It is pretty worn. Probably a Mexican, but I did think it a bit different.
