Came across this bizarre individual at Garston Wood, Dorset this morning.
Have never seen one with a full white border! ab or just a variation it looks quite attractive, at least for a Meadow Brown anyway . . . . . .

Re: Strange Looking Meadow Brown
Thanks for all the replies. Good to know it is an ab . . . .
Around the time I photographed this one there were at least a dozen or so persons looking to the trees for Purple Emperors not too far away from me.
I was just content with boring Meadow Browns!!
