What Variety of Butterfly?

I found this butterfly sitting on a porch railing when I got home from a photo shoot. About the only butterfly that I can ID for sure is the Swallowtail. So I am not sure of what this one is! Would appreciate feedback. When I look online, the overwhelming number of different butterflies is confusing. Whatever this little thing is, it sure is beautiful!

Thanks to Laura, the butterfly type is narrowed down to the 'Admiral' classification. She says it is likely a 'Lorquin's Admiral'!

Beautiful sharp image Vern. I've not seen this one as their habitat is usually in the west (west Montana to the Pacific Coast, according to my little I.D. book). After checking some photos of it on line, I too think that Laura is correct.

Nice sharp shot of this beautiful butterfly. Not sure what variety it is though. I'd go with what Laura recommends V

Really super shot of him, Vern. I think likely a Lorquin's Admiral (or a close relative, if there is one). :) V
