Limenitis lorquini
Similar to the California Sister but that has orange on the tip and short band of white. This has an orange edge on the side of forewing and longer band of white. Plus the band of white is curving up not arching down.
Sacramento is not that far off. Orange county is. I'll wait but your ID looks pretty good.
Sent a message to a UC Davis butterfly monitoring website to confirm it. Hope I hear from them
Here is a range of butterflies : Check it once please

Thank you that is perfect even when it mentioned it feeds on Buckeye.The second image is a Buckeye tree. Wonder why I couldn't find it on the California Butterfly list. I only found the California Sister that just barely came close.
Hi Jellis,
Region-wise also ID seems appropriate to me. Once check this link too :
