Phyciodes phaon
Perched on the leaf of a Winecup (Callirhoe involucrata) leaf.
On the part of my country acre property which is a wildflower field in full sun. The plant it's perched on is 6 inches of the ground.

Yes, it really does. I've just looked at dozens of pictures of the species and I find it matches more than any of the other crescents I looked at. Thanks for your help.
Not positive but it looks like a faded Phaon Crescent
