I assume this must be a highly damaged male Great Sooty Satyr. The absence of most of the starboard hind-wing at least gives a good view of the fore-wing. It was seen in the Alpes-Maritimes at about 175 metres altitude, and is the first time I have knowingly seen one .

Hi Colin,
I'm no expert but it certainly looks to me to be a Great Sooty Satyr. Now there's a coincidence - I photographed my first GSS on July 22nd in the Alpes de Haute Provence (1650 m alt.). Fortunately it was in a bit better condition than yours - see photos for comparison.
Cheers, Chris.

Hi Colin. Sorry, I missed this when you posted it. Yes, certainly a great sooty satyr. And nice pictures, Chris. Like many graylings, this can be a hard butterfly to approach closely.
