These can be tricky
Looks like some kind of Crescent (Sept. in Wisconsin):
In order of Probability: Pearl, Northern, or Tawny. I think it is Pearl, but I cannot ID from these views (an expert probably could).
Note the black spot inside the orange on the outside trailing edge of the FW.

Thank you! I'll keep looking to see if I can find some other angles.
