Despite the differences you mentioned, the dark "spokes" pattern coming off of the eye (in particular the thick one at the back of the eye) seem to be a give away for A. sagrei. Of course the dewlap color would be the best identifier.
It's a Plume Moth, I bet from thetribe Pterophorini but I couldn't help you with more specific than that. http://bugguide.net/node/view/44051/bgpa...
Note in the reference page that there's a very similar species. The elongated body I see in your first pic is why I went with my suggestion. Not an expert though.
This is some variety of Pansy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansy
Beautiful photo and spotting. You can put butterflies and all insects under the Arthropod (dragonfly symbol) rather than "other" ( starfish symbol).
Looks like some species of Chicory, don't know which. Reminded me of this spotting of mine.

As Ashley said. Definitely a Tricolored. No white throat or underparts on a Little Blue.
Thanks dcslaugh. Personally, I think my underwater photos have a lot of room for improvement. I have a SeaLife camera that came with the underwater casing. I don't have any accessories like proper lights on it. So I'm limited to sunny shallow water. (This location was great). But, basically I just take lots of shots, delete most of them, and hope for the best. LOL.
Not a 100% but I think Disonycha leptolineata, however a few similar. Look through these seen in Florida
