Around noon on Sunday, March 9. Warm, sunny, still air. The butterflies were nectaring on dandelions. The maps in BtBTW shows 5 definite Duskywing species plus 2 marginal species here. I did see another unidentified Duskywing. The only one likely in town is Funereal, but the one I saw lacked a white fringe. It showed a chain-link pattern on the fw like the Sleepy.
