Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I see so many Pahaskas on the rim I was hesitant to suggest something different for this one, but it looks like you've noted them at Capulin in the past, mentioning that this time period is between seasons for Pahaska. I'm also noticing the hindwing white spots: the 3rd spot down from the upper margin is connected to the 2nd spot down in a way that looks more like Common Branded. I know the patterns can vary a lot though, so I leave it in your capable hands to make a final call.

Coordinator notes: you are sharp-eyed indeed. My brain went the same way yours did. it's a little early for western branded, but everything else is early so why not this one, too?
