Is this G Virgo, G Parthenice, or something else? Doesn't quite match any image that I can find here or on MPG. Appreciate any help I can get.

Just finished reading a couple dozen comments regarding Parthenice vs Virgo and I've decided this must be Parthenice. The general consensus in the comments is that Parthenice has fewer black spots on hind wing than Virgo, ( almost every one of the open wing pics in the guide substantiate this) and also that they are more likely to be found this late in the year (esp. in mint condition) than Virgo. Other opinions/thoughts welcome.
