Gary, could you add an image of the entire wing? (i.e. tip too)
A transverse image of the entire wing...showing the infuscation pattern well (e.g. with a nice light background, as in the photos here) would be helpful. It would both help confirm the ID and provide a useful reference image for this relatively rarely-encountered but widespread species.

(Unfortunately, the image above does not include the wing-tip, which carries a critical part of the diagnostic info for this species...the wing-tip should be infuscated in the putative species here, with a short hyaline interruption in the infuscated pattern just basad of the wing-tip.)
