within known range
Your location is within the known range of the species. The map of individuals submitted to Bug Guide can be found here.

Butterflies and Moths of North America has a nice range map for the species.
Always a nice treat to see these beauties.

Gulf Fritillary, I think
If so, then it will be Bugguide's first record from Colorado
