I have tried to get this photo identified and the best I can come up with is a Southern Cloudywing, but I am not convinced. there seems to be too much white on the wings. Maybe it is a regional variation as I can come up with nothing else. It was seen near the coast south of Tallahassee,FL

Any thoughts?

Check out this pic on Bugguide.net. This looks like what you have here.
