There are many viceroys,about half a dozen. I even saw two chase each other, but pics were blurred.

Nice shots.

This time they are Monarchs, no black line across the wing.

I didn't know what made them different until today! Thank you so much Thomas.

And they're all males. Males have thinner wing veins and the black spot on the rear wing vein.
