Looks like another male to me. You'll know when you find a female, they look much darker (hence DARK Green Fritillary). They are also very good at skulking around unseen. I generally find just 1 or 2 a year for every 40 or 50 males.

I'd go with a male as well. In the third shot you can actually just make out the thickened forewing veins that form the sex brands. As Bugboy says, you'll know when you've found a female - they can be quite striking insects.

Cheers,

Dave
