I saw this butterfly while on vacation in the Smokey Mountain National Park, at the top. Anyone know what it might be? Love the circle on the wing.

It's a Buckeye, Junonia coenia. Nice.

Thank you Clay. You are so good at this. It was so great to watch. Here is another one I saw at the same time.

This one's a lot harder - either an American Lady or a Painted Lady - see what you think:

I can only see one eyespot, so I'm leaning toward the Painted Lady, it's hard to tell from that angle though.
