Square-spot Chestnut?

oops, I meant Rustic!

 

[Tri-Counties Birder]

I don't think Square-spot Rustic ever flies in spring (I might be wrong).

Not sure what it could be, perhaps a slightly odd Common Quaker? Did you get a photo?

No, no photo, but looking again I reckon it was probably a White-marked. I caught several of them this time last year.

Got a bit rusty with my ID skills over the winter. :smoke:
