It also goes by the name Andromeda Satyr. Same or similar to yours.

Thamyra Satyr (Taygetis thamyra) seems a close match. So similar to Little Wood Satyr here in PA also. Good luck!

You're right Carol, it could be in the same family. See what bayucca thinks.

Reminds me of Northern Pearly-eyed Butterfly here in PA. Maybe same family.
