Apologies for the picture but this was as good as I could get after a week of trying. I have a whole slew of these on my spearmint and lavender but they are definitely camera shy plus they normally flutter their wings so quickly that it's hard to get a shot at all. I think the hideous heat today made them slightly lethargic.

I found a site that shows what butterflies and moths have been found in my area and I think that my little (1") guy looks like the Phaon Crescent (Phyciodes phaon):

Did I guess correctly or do I need to hang out here a lot longer?
