Can anyone tell me what this butterfly is, photo'd today in Berkshire. Apologies for the angle, it was the only one I got before he flew away never to return!

It's a female Silver Washed Fritillary, but a form called valesina, it only occurs in a small percentage of females so a nice find!

Thanks for the ID, it's always quite a buzz when I find something a little different!
