You probably already know this, but I am gonna say it anyways ..
Try to get both a open wings and side shot. Some of these guys are almost impossible to sort without being able to compare both angles.
One thing I have noticed when stalking flutterbys, when I flush one whos been feasting on nectar, about half the time they circle back to that same patch of flowers, so waiting patiently can result in good shots. Often with the perchers (such as the commas -- Subfamily Nymphalinae - Genus Polygonia), they will return to the same sun exposure (or very nearby) if given some time.
