oooohhhh, he's pretty!!!

I think it might be a Horace's Duskywing butterfly, probably a male. The spots on the forewing seem to match exactly. Here are some links with pictures:

That looks like a pretty good match...I know I have lots of the female H Duskywings around but do you suppose I could find one picture?? Not on this computer...
