Open grassy area beside the Albert River Nile. Maybe a Small Orange Tip, Tiny Orange Tip, Colotis evagore antigone http://www.sagr.co.za/forum/viewtopic.ph...
These tipped butterflies also not easy to ID. Looks like a Colotis annae annae, Scarlet tip, without the grey markings around the body.

Beautiful photos Pam!
thanks Noel, stephanie, and Marta...
A very nice Orangetip. They look similar to the North American Orangetips. The underside of the wings looks different, so that when they close their wings they can be camouflaged on a branch.
Looks very similar, Karen. Will check if this one is found in Uganda.
This one is closer to my Bushveld Orangetip. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/360... more signs of evolution
This is one of my favorites from these Ugandan collection! :-)
What a beautiful butterfly!
Beautiful series, Pam!
