Tawny Crescent (I believe)
Not sure what kind of butterfly this is, I do not have a shot of the other side of its wings. I don't really find it to be the most attractive butterfly by any means but in this shot I liked how there was iridescence on its body. I believe it must be some type of Fritillary. Bright light turned out to be good for something here after all.
It seems that light is always perfect for something. One either has to simply do the best with what is presented or search for a subject or scene where light works out to be flattering.
EDIT:, thanks to everyone for their suggestions of the ID. I believe Marilyn Lemmon is correct, a Tawny Crescent.
