Nopayahnah & Chebeague7, thank you. Bayucca, thanks for the ID. I am glad I still can make VERY interesting spots... :-)

VERY interesting one!! Look at the black triangle in the orange spot and the orange line on the hindwing with this bright white spot, quite typical for Malta.
Here some other link. I am quite confident...

This link is also called Malta or related species (from a real expert like Adrian), but I think it is not Malta itself, maybe some out of this so-called complex:
