Am I correct on the ID of this butterfly...... female Nokomis Fritillary (Speyeria nokomis) ? I have had quite a time putting a name to this one.
location - Jackson Co., Oregon, USA (SW corner just above California).

Thanks in advance

It does indeed look like the Nokomis Fritillary (Speyeria nokomis), although it does not appear to occur in Oregon. It is found not far away in the North-east corner of California.

not occuring in Oregon is what has gotten me stumped on the ID.
Maybe I just got one of those lucky shots of one that has lost track of where it is 'supposed' to be.

Thanks for the input ...
