Would appear to be:
Funereal Duskywing - Erynnis funeralis
OR
Erynnis tristis - Mournful Duskywing
Likely cannot be distinguished without a ventral view.
Update. Commenter on iNatuarlist identified as funeralis, with justification!

"See: Swift Guide to Butterflies of N.A., Glassberg, J. Female, UFW cell area dark."
