Coordinator notes: Bronze Copper's most notable difference on the dorsal side is the spots on the FWs. The American Copper will tend to have spots around the periphery but nothing more central or basal on the wing, which the bronze will have. The ventral HW are even more definitive if you can get a view. -jmgesell
