Orange tip? Or White?

Post by chassyp »

I found this resting for the night on a hedgrow. I obviously thought it was an orange tip from the underneath. Just for a second it opened its wings, and showed what I see as a small white inside!!! Can anyone assist in this? Regards

Yes, she's a female orange tip. Only the male sports the orange!
