Phyciodes phaon
This small butterfly can be distinguished from its relative the Pearl Crescent by the light yellow bar of cells on the forewings.
This one was on Zexmenia, member of the sunflower family.
The two photos were taken about one hour apart. The Zexmenia is a favorite of these small butterflies.
