Coordinator notes: Your suggested ID is correct...male of the summer form umbrosa with the mostly black upper hindwings. This butterfly is having a good flight this year further toward the mountains in eastern Colorado...some years are better than others but the Q-mark tends to be generally uncommon more often than it is not.
