After photo-editing this image, I had some reservations about calling it a Sachem which is what I originally called it. None of my Sachem images have shown an obvious white on the ventral wings as this one does. They always have shown a yellowish tinge where this one shows white. It may be an artifact of the processing but I thought I would post it here anyway and let you decide. I am including an image showing the color tones that the Sachem males have at this location.

Sachem - Moved

female v. male
There are some images of female Sachem in the guide with fairly white spots.
Sometimes wear makes spots more prominent.

Also, the guide requires that each submission have images of the same individual. Please put the other image in a comment.
