Coordinator notes: I thought that this was probably a Mottled Duskywing, but I was not sure. So I sent the photos to four people in Ontario who have experience with the species, in life and in museums. And they all agreed that it was not a Mottled, but a second generation female Horace's Duskywing. The light, hyaline spots on the forewing are too large, too prominent for the Mottled, but just right for Horace's. Ross Layberry
