I'm struggling with the photos on this one. Have you got another photo which is less bright? My inclination is Canary-shouldered rather than August.

All the best
 
Hi Paul
Thanks for the input, are these any better?

The thorax does look very yellow in the first pics! The second lot just goes to show how different light creates wildly different colours and patterns.

I'd go for September, due to the lack of a kink in the outer cross-line near the leading edge of the wing.
