Gerade deswegen will ich nix falsch machen...!
ok, nevermind - i knew you have really some skills on this, that's why we asked you - no problem...
One of the most common ones and easy to ID. Easy?? Definitely not. Sorry, I need some more time to look very carefully at this one. I think also it might be Icarus. But if you ask me to confirm this in front of 1000 people I would hesitate. There are some other candidate which looks almost identical beside a thought line between 3 spots for example. With all these variability within the genus and within the same species butterfly ID is sometimes a real nightmare. Moths are even worser ;-)...
