Since I discovered this shot, I've seen several Cloudeds with the checkered 
fringe. The sun came out for a few minutes this afternoon and I saw 2 just like 
this one. All I've seen with this checkered fringe were frosty fresh looking 
individuals.

Cloudeds are very common here and I'm able to ID most from a distance. I'm 
betting these checkered ones have always been here but I wasn't looking closely 
enough to notice it.
