female Gorgon copper
They're all look-alikes! Heavy sigh. At first, I confused the female Boisduval's blue with the Gorgon copper with that split orange couplet dotting towards the butt when their wings are held at rest above their body. Now that I'm looking at this picture, there's a definite chalky white that I've also noticed in the great copper and is totally absent in all the blues I've seen so far. Also, I think I might get the topside female with its golden-hued window panes mixed up with the similarly looking tailed-copper. I have yet to get a good look at females topside in-person, because I didn't bother this one too much except to take its picture. She looks heavy with eggs and lots of fat. In flight, the boys flash a beautiful alternating leathery brown with white, only a couple feet off the ground. They're quite distinctive.
