Fw: female Wild Indigo? Juvenile?

[Sharon Stichter]

Can anyone here on masslep help id this one?  Conrad Vispo lives in New York state, and has written about the butterflies of Columbia County there.  I’ll forward any replies to him, or you can reply to him directly.  It looks like a female WID to me, but could it also be a Juvenal’s?    Thanks for any help!

Good-afternoon Sharon,

 

Would you mind giving me your thoughts on this duskywing? It was photo’d along a forested dirt road on 5/7/2012 here in Columbia County. (Am working on a report and so going back to old photos from a site).

 

All my duskywings end up being Juvenal’s or Wild Indigo… that may just mean I’m not seeing anything else or I’m fixated.

 

 

Thanks, I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving,

 

Conrad.
