Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It's probably the Pearl again, but the band seemed lighter to me so I thought I'd see if it could be the Phaon.

Coordinator notes: Yes this is a Pearl Crescent again. The underside of the Pearl is more buff orange color as opposed to Phaon's cream background. On upper side forewings on Phaon the contrast on lighter bans and orange bands in VERY evident in contrast. Pearl's can be only slightly lighter to darker contrast in bands. Also Phaon has a more darker hindwing, especially toward the outter edge. Phaon is also slightly smaller than Pearl. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
