High Brown Fritillary?? (1 Viewer)

Hi

We saw this on Dartmoor today. I looked on the Butterfly Conservation website and it looks like a High Brown Fritillary, but then it says these are really rare!

I also says that they are very similar to the Dark Green Fritillary, much more common, but our one does not have the black edges that the Dark Green appears to have.

Help as always gratefully received :)

Sorry we could not get one of the underside!
