What's wrong with this picture?

Clay,

Praises abound here in eastern Pennsylvania for including pictures with your 
notes.  Enjoyed your note the other day about male Banded Hairstreaks 
perching, sun orienting, chasing other males, and generally acting like the 
territorial bully.
I've got a Banded colony right out my back door.  Watching the males in 
mid-late June has been an annual anticipated event.  I usually stroll out to 
see them at 7:30 AM, coffee in hand, to observe their antics in morning's 
first rays.

Your latest photo is a Banded as you expected. The gender is female and the 
phenotype is pretty standard.  Ground color (tan brown) is lighter than males 
(slate gray to dark brown) and the postmedian bars/spots usually are lined on 
both sides by white.  And, yes, Banded females provide a source of confusion 
with Hickorys (both sexes).
