I think so too. I did download it to magnify it a bit :-)

It looks OK to me, I had not noticed the two tails before!

Thanks for the ID Daniele

Malcolm given the resolution of the pic please treat with caution! The wing shape and tails suggest Papilionidae rather than Nymphalidae, and the forewing white pattern and hindwing red spots fit the Crimson Rose, which is present in the area.
