After a lot of looking through other pictures, I'm pretty sure he's some species of Genus Phyciodes. This was the best picture I could get of him, so no great shots of the insides of the wings to check the patterns. If you have other suggestions, let me know!

Yeah, I see about three or four different species of Crescent he could be. I was trying to get closer to get a better angle (this is zoomed in from about seven feet away) but the second I got within about five feet of him he flew off lol
Thanks though, that's more specific than I was able to get on my own :)
I believe this is a species of Crescent. However, without a full view of the inside of the wings it may not be possible to figure out the species. Check this out on Bugguide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/221/bgpage...
