Just a Pale-banded Crescent? 10/1/13

This afternoon my little butterfly garden actually produced a pretty good bug, Pale-banded Crescent Anthanassa tulcis.  At least that's my best guess.  Other possibillities are ptolyca and drusilla, Black or Darkened Crescent and Orange-patched Crescent.  It's pretty dark on the rear portion of the hindwing and the pm dashes are a bit faint, but otherwise it looks like tulcis.  Comments are welcome.
