i saw these every day... very fast fliers, hardly every landing. Similar in size to a Red Admiral. Very like a butterfly in flight. Wings orange-brown with a 1cm paler yellow border.
this photo is poor quality but might help you to identify this mysterious creature. it is facing away from the camera with wings folded.
