Hi all,
A friend sent me this pic - it's either Purple-shot Copper or Purple-edge Copper (taken in Hungary). Thoughts?
Cheers,

Why not a Large Copper?

Re: Which Copper?
I think it's a large copper too. The hindwing cell markings are like all my pictures of large copper and none of my pictures of the other two. Plus, it just looks like one!

I too looked at my photo's from Hungary this year, and came to the conclusion that it was Large Copper.
