Very likely the same as 1479. It was sitting in the same spot as three days earlier, guarding its territory. However, there are slight differences when comparing undersides between the two days. The one today looks more worn, with less details to see, which is to be expected, knowing how fragile the wings are.

A lifer, and one of the target species on this trip to Sweden.

I guess it's a male with smaller spots above.

We saw 4 in different locations.
