Pyronia bathseba
spotted among roadside weeds in wooded area
Thanks Daniele, that one is not in my Book! I'll remove my suggestion.
Hi Nancy and Malcolm! With the distinctive white stripe on the underside hindwing and the orange upperside with broad brown borders I think we have Pyronia bathseba rather than Pyronia tithonus.

It looks close but I'm not 100% certain as there may be others that I am not aware of yet.
