Nymphalis antiopa
I believe this is a spent male. Initially thought it may have been a monarch because of its light orange hue. Was suspect of the light trailing edge and couldn't immediate find a match. Mourning cloak looks like a better call.
Along side the trail.
Thank you. I was suspect myself but I do not know butterflies as well as I know trees and wild plants. Thank you for the correction.
Hi Cloudedweller, that's a beautiful spotting but I do not think that it is a Monarch butterfly. I have added a link for your reference :)
