The markings seem to be identical to Knapweed Fritillary but it is so...so pale. Is this old age? Would welcome your comments.

I think yours is much more like the Spotted Fritillary - Melitaea didyma.

We did not have this species represented in BugFules, so I have created a page for it here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/7095/

We would be pleased if you would add some of your pictures to thaty page,

Ken
