Pyrrhopyge araxes
Upperside is dark brown; forewing with large white patches, hindwing with scalloped outer margin. Underside of forewing is the same as the upperside, and has orange at the wing base. Underside of hindwing is mostly orange with a dark border and blurry dark markings.
This was one of the many butterflies (which I mistook for moths at first) that was in my yard today.
