Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm going with Leda because this was a very small butterfly: it has a pebbly texture to the gray, and additional lines between the postmedian line and base of wings. Its eye is a very obvious green/gray color. This is a new one for me and apparently out of its expected range, so I've double checked between Glassberg and Kaufman. The only thing that gives me pause is that in both guidebooks, both the upper and lower wings have orange inside the postmedian line, while my individual only has orange on the hind wing.
