I think this a Duskywing. I have Glassberg's book but it doesn't seem to match up with anything. I thought it was a Dreamy but those are earlier in the year according to the book. Any help appreciated.

Looks like Wild Indigo Duskywing
Pale cell end patch with out white spot and darkening toward basal area of forewing indicates Wild Indigo. Columbine is similar but usually darker and smaller..

Thanks...
I think you are probably right, not too many others it could be if the book is correct regarding the time of flight.
