Unidentified Fritillary, Gait Barrows

Hi all,
Photographed this fritillary high up in a tree at Gait Barrows yesterday. It's either Dark Green or High Brown (unless I'm terribly mistaken). Can anyone go further than this with my terrible pictures?
(I'll admit, I was leaning towards High Brown when I saw it)
Thank you!

Might have a better chance if you post them a bit bigger! - say around 800x600 - these are only thumbnails

Agree with Mike. Can you resize the image at the top as this will be the definitive one?

Hi Yashca,
Assuming they are both the same insect then both are High Brown.
Kind regards. Mark

I'm seriously impressed, Mark
I reckon those butterflies are only about 15 pixels square

Hi Mike,
My eyesight is not that good - just check the homepage, both images have been there all along
Kind regards. Mark

Thank-you both - I'm absolutely delighted. This was the only fritillary (aside from Small-pearl Bordered) that I manged to get a picture of. Too hot, too much activity!
