Hi Matt - great record! This is the first record of this species for the season, and also a new location for this species (there are only a few current locations for this species in the ACT that I'm aware of). This is a female, note how she has rounded hindwings.
Thanks for the gender confirmation, Suzi, I have updated the record to indicate female. In this very small patch on Mt Taylor today, within 30 minutes (12.00-12.30pm), I saw Meadow Argus, Australian Painted Lady, Fiery Copper, Fringed Heath-blue, Yellow Ochre, Cabbage White and Common Grass-blue.
