Hi Charles and plants. Are you sure this is a Rock Ringlet? There are no eyespots on the forewings, a diagnostic feature for this species. It looks more like Orange Ringlet (Hypocysta adiante) to me.

Lovely photo, but I agree with Suzi, looks more like an Orange Ringlet to me :).

H. euphemia commonly has eyespots under the forewing. H. irius has the strongly marked lines under the forewing.
