Yes, Nymphalis antiopa. It is actually a very long living butterfly and I can imagine that they way hibernate as butterfly in a darker and cooler place, like a garage or so.

Yep, definitely a morning cloak! It may be kind of rare to find these guy so late in the year? http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Nymphalis-antiopa
