Nyphalidae, Limenitidinae, Limenitidini, Adelpha sp. and most probably Adelpha californica, sometimes and still under discussion also called Adelpha bredowii californica. Range for the "identical" Adelpha eulalia from Arizona is in my eyes too far north and west. http://bugguide.net/node/view/13494 http://bugguide.net/node/view/373394
