Pipevine Swallowtail - Battus philenor

Pipevine Swallowtail - Battus philenor
Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama, USA
June 7, 2004
I was thinking that this was a Battus philenor (Hodges), because the white dots on the back wings are in the right place and the white dots on the black head, but the amount of blue on the front wings makes me doubt that a bit. Have any Battus philenor been identified with that much blue on their wings? The photograph was taken on the trails of Monte Sano mountain near Huntsville, AL.
