Speyeria species?
After viewing Speyeria species in Jeffrey Glassberg's Butterflies Through Binoculars of the West, I've determined that this is more than likely a female Coronis Fritillary visiting an aster.

Speyeria species?
This Speyeria image was referred to a butterfly expert, Ray Bruun, from a Flickr contact of mine and he indicated that the image is that of a Mormon Fritillary because of the flight period and shape.
