I am sure no butterfly expert, only know 2-4, but I think this one is actually a moth...could be wrong....very nice looking though

Looks like a Common Buckeye Butterfly.

I agree with Paul, it's a Common Buckeye.  They're actually quite common this year.

Thank you. I haven't seen these at S S Park in previous years.
