Coordinator notes: Two different individuals posted...top one...No to C. scudderii...yellow females (flavotincta) are rare...and it is early for scudderii...you can argue it is but the photo lacks detail and I also don't see any bright pink fringe showing at the wing edges which is very characteristic to flavotincta females (more so than female philodice)...center photo I presume is the underside of the top one...ground color screams philodice to me, not scudderii...bottom photo...a different female...ventral color also looks like philodice but the disc spot lacks the satellite spot...possibly alexandra but doubtful (they do sometimes have a ringed disc spot) but ventral color not like alexandra...so I'll stay with philodice.
