Steve, On 30 May 2010 I visited Cumberland Gap National Park. I found these specimens on the Cumberland Trail going down off Tri State Peal. Numerous other butterflies were seen, but they were either in Kentucky or Virginia.

I have identified this photo as a Banded Hairstreak. The photographer was Harold Howell.
