Variable checkerspot?
I'm in the northeast and don't know your fauna, but perhaps Euphydryas chalcedona. If you had a photo of the underside as well it would be easier to narrow it down. The underside markings in this genus are pretty different species to species, and the dorsal side of this species is... variable.
