Scarce rather than Hoary Footman?

 From the top it looked very different from the Scarce Footman sitting a few inches away. It get a bit antsy so I took some shots hoping to get the hindwings. Wit the tremor I have I'm not going to be able to open up the wings without squashing it. It is definately yellowish underneath and I think the flight shot also indicates it's Scarce.

    Hi Mark,
    The first picture does look a very good candidate for Hoary Footman but I'm glad you decided to investigate further rather than relying on exterior appearance, which can be misleading.
