Papilio glaucus
The (non-black) swallowtails have been decidedly orange this summer (rather than yellow and black). There has also been a drastic increase in swallowtails in general (that or they are hanging out lower to the ground this summer), many of which are black.
The second image, showing the upper side of wings) is washed out so not reflecting the color properly. I am not 100% positive it is the same butterfly since two were flitting around at the time
