Stealth Butterfly

I think this is a Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) but with no eye markings on the wings I'm not completely sure. All in black it is definitely trying to avoid radar detection though!! We saw this on the slopes of Pressendye on our descent back to Tarland.

 

Pressendye is just a small Graham of 620 meters (2034 feet), but a 15 Km (9 mile) circuit definitely stretched the legs.
