Many Coppers seen this particular day on top of the mountain. Most of them seen occupying a bare patch of rock amongst short montane grassland. They all look the same to me so am sending any that look different from each other |

It is closest to A. caffrariae, but the habitat is unusual for this species, being found on a mountain top. It could represent a new species or subspecies. |
