I captured this butterfly recently in my garden on a Coneflower and I am not sure what type it is, it does not match anything in my book exactly. I submitted it to Butterfliesandmoths.org but have yet to hear anything back. It was very pale underneath, almost white with the orange band extending from the lower wing to the upper slightly but fading out. The top side of the wings appear tan. If anyone has an idea, be sure to drop me a line in the comments.
Edit: 7/24/21 Butterfliesandmoths.org has ID it as a Gray Copper Butterfly. They are not as common as the others I post for Kansas but have been seen in various locations in the state.
