Black or Female Eastern Tiger?

Rowlett, TX(Zone 8a)

Even with Butterflies Through Binoculars, I can't ID this beautiful butterfly nectaring from my red Canna this morning. Help.

Carla, to me it looks more like the female Pipevine Swallowtail.

Thanks Linda. I don't know why I didn't even think of Pipevine! I guess I'm still a newbie when it comes to b'flies. :-)

Funny, I snapped my first pictures of a pipevine in my yard lastyear on a canna too!

So many of those black butterflies resemble each other somewhat! I have trouble with that myself sometimes.
