Midsummer Swallowtail (Canadian x Eastern Tiger Swalllowtail)

South March Highlands

I thought this was a Canadian Tiger Swallowtail, however, any still flying this late in the season would be extremely worn. It appears to be a "Midsummer Swallowtail", a population or even a separate species resulting from the hybridization between Canadian and Eastern Tiger Swallowtails.
