When the identifying mark on the underwing is too faint or not visible, then this side by side comparison of the Eastern Comma - Polygonia comma and Question Mark - Polygonia interrogationis is very helpful. http://www.naba.org/chapters/nabambc/frames-2species.asp?sp1=Polygonia-interrogationis&sp2=Polygonia-comma

You can barely see the Question mark marking, but it is there in the lead image
