Red Admiral or Painted Lady?

I found this butterfly in my image collection which I think I have wrongly named. Could someone please help me by confirming, or otherwise, my ID?

.

I had named this a Painted Lady.

Thank you

Hi Peter,
It's a Red Admiral. Nice shot.

Thank you Neil

. Just as well I checked with you

It looked terribly out of place and the blue tinge on the front of the wings made me wonder....
