Oreas Comma

Hatton Canyon SP, Carmel, CA
"This is a tricky call without a ventral view of the diagnostic "comma" mark on the hindwing.
But I lean to oreas for these reasons:
1) red crescents enclosing a yellow spot on the lower hindwing submargin;
2) large black spot on the basal hindwing, with 2-3 small (often faint or missing) spots just below."...Chris Tenney
