Could that be a butt-erfly?

Thanks for your comments, guys - I especially liked butt-erfly! If it appears again, I may try a wide-angle shot. As no one has ventured a possible name, may I hazard ' Uxor Callipygea', or is that the name of the nectar source? :lol:

It's a life tick for me, as I'm not married. Do you want to see my pics of Canis callipygea? :D
