The Ringlet is unusual in that it flies even in quite dull weather. It was the only one in evidence this afternoon. It did open its wings at one point, showing that the upper surface was almost black, so this is a male. The female's upper wings are much paler. See also NJ1863 : Ringlet (Aphantophus hyperantus).
