Sunny Wednesday at the Bass Ponds

Yesterday the weather was nice so I decided to take a trip to the Bass Ponds in the Minnesota Valley NWR. Things in the Minnesota Valley have not really picked up much with the fall migration yet. The typical great blue heron were still around I also saw a female white-faced meadowhawk. And this butterfly which I have not been able to ID with my limited butterfly knowledge. Here is a different view. If there are any butterfly enthusiasts who read the site I would greatly appreciate any help with the ID.

Your butterfly looks like an Eastern Tailed-Blue.
