Coordinator notes: The HW edges aren't scalloped, so it's not Staphylus hayhurst. It's one of the Erynnis sp., and most likely E. baptisiae, although Erynnis are one of the most commonly mis-identified butterflies (because it's very easy for even the most experienced observers to do so). But I think the FW patterns are strongly indicative of E. baptisiae. JRains
