Fritillary - Dione moneta
Kerrville, Kerr County, Texas, USA
April 17, 2018
Size: 36
Only this underwing shot was available, I did not think this matched a Gulf Fritillary unless it is more natural variation than I have seen when in guides and other photos.Top side looked more like variegated/Mexican.
