Coordinator notes: I'm confident this is a funeralis, but in that county there are many similar looking duskywings with white fringes. So in that county all Duskywing records should have full locality data, not just a spot on a map. So John Saba is rightfully being conservative in not accepting your Duskywing records...Erynnis tristis, juvenalis clitus and scudderi can be difficult, some of those could be ruled out if locality was provided. An underside view can confirm tristis-Ken Davenport
