Comment:   S.wichgrafi or possible S.curlei. Will wait for other opinions but it might be a winner. The underside patch does not seem to reach the ocellus so I'd go for S.curlei but I also know that S.wichgrafi vary quite a bit.

Comment:   Observer says butterfly photographed on rocky slope, thus Steve says it is Stygionympha wichgrafi because S.curlei is a wetland butterfly.
