Coordinator notes: I believe this is a female pinkish-orange form of P. sennae, rather than a. P. philea. I am basing this on the large size of the gap in the postmedian line on the forewing. I have also noticed that the broken line often overlaps at that gap in P. sennae, but this does not seem typical in P. philea. There tends to be a greenish tint in the yellow of P. sennae, which is seen here, much less so in philea females, which tend to be a very warm ocherous yellow-orange pink. Additionally, P. philea females often have heavier pink near the margins of the wing. See these examples on bugguide.net which look much like this sighting. SAT
