Monarch(?) chrystalis - Danaus plexippus

Monarch(?) chrystalis - Danaus plexippus
southern Adirondack Mts., Saratoga County, New York, USA
July 28, 2018
Time 15:20, temp mid 80s, sunny but following several rainy days. Photos were taken about 1 meter from several milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) plants (with many Monarch caterpillars) in an open area surrounded by mixed forest. Chrysalis is attached to an Iris leaf. I think it is a Monarch chrysalis. Please correct or verify. Thanks.

That's definitely a monarch.
That's definitely a monarch. I raised monarch caterpillars growing up.
