Coordinator notes: Correct identification; the Common Alpine has eyespots on the dorsal hindwing, and is never found this high in elevation. This one is dorsally basking to warm up in the chilly alpine morning (at least compared to lower elevations). As soon as it is warm enough, it will take off and begin nectaring on flowers to fuel itself further.
