One of the Fritillary's. I'm not sure what the differences are off hand. Maybe a Silver-washed or Dark Green?
EDIT: I'm edging more towards Dark Green Fritillary.

Nige | Hi Nige
Have a look at the pattern circled here,which looks a bit like elongated H's on their side( HTH somehow),Dark Green Fritillary doesn't have this pattern.High Brown does but the "H"s are not as elongated.
