help?

[Diane Adams]

A friend from Moodus is asking me to help her identify a butterfly, but
I haven't been much help.  She has photos of it from last July & thinks
she's already seen it this year.  Looking in the Glassberg book, the
closest I'm coming is the Red-Spotted Purple.  However, in my friend's
photo, it appears to be a much brighter blue--does have orange spots and
pronounced white spots at wing tips of upper side--and it's underside is
significantly more orange--looks like a Viceroy.

Anyone have any ideas?
I'd be happy to try to scan the photos and email them to you--they're
kind of small and a bit fuzzy, though.
