Question Mark
Almost missed seeing this because as my good friend Steve Burt said: "It looks like a dead leaf!" And when it opened it's wings, the colors weren't what I recognized as a Question Mark butterfly (Polygonia interragationis). The hind wings were completely dark, which is seen in late summer. You can see the "question mark" in the outer wing, which I have highlighted in the photo.
