To my surprise and confusion this turned up at Cornmill Stream while I was there.
First thought it was a Small Tortoiseshell then realised it was a Small Copper but then the black markings looked bigger compared to previous ones I have seen.
Decided at the time it was likely a female and perhaps they are darker and a little bigger?! Lol.
I am pretty sure there is no other Copper Butterfly it can be and with the large being extinct and re-introductions from Holland have no records of any success This is just a ...freak, lol.
