Shouldered brown Butterfly

Yes. We have so many Common browns on our place, the first time I saw a Klugs xenica I mistook it for a Common brown male. Some subtle distinction between Browns.

You must look closely and photograph any varieties that you see as there are many different browns available in the southern states, several endemic (exclusive) to Tasmania.

A bright montane species has its own subspecies in Tasmania, Victoria and NSW have others. This one is male; the dark markings " shoulders " are absent in the females.
