Appalachian Tiger Swallowtail - Papilio

Appalachian Tiger Swallowtail - Papilio
Finzel/ Finzel Swamp, Garrett County, Maryland, USA
June 19, 2020
Overall impression was that this was a much larger swallowtail then I had seen before. I haven’t grasped the finer Id points of this species yet but it seemed like a good candidate for Appalachian. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a ventral photo.

Maybe
I looked at some descriptions and photos at BOA and BOMONA.
And, according to BOMONA sightings, this date and location look good for Appalachian.
I would have to see ventral side to say it is an Appalachian, but possibly someone else could ID if from this.
