Orange-Tip variation in hibernica supspecies?

[Dave McCormick]

This is the subspecies hibernica (found at Oxford Island, Lough Neagh, NI) and I noticed the spots are smaller than on a typical OT I have seen, could it be an aberration? I am unsure about aberrations in subspecies like this. Here is the image:

This is a typical male I usually find, excuse the quality, don't have a lot of male upperside shots:

No idea about it being an ab, Dave, but he does look weird with one wing tip in the sun and one in the shade - A Yellow and Orange Tip!

Best wishes,

haha yeah. In some light I have noticed the males have yellow-orange tips and other times orange tips. I think the hibernica subspecies males are generally have more yellowish wing tips than britannica subspecies
