I see that it has the characteristic 2 legs sticking out on each side of the body of the brushfoots. Its patterning looks kind of like some kind of fritillary, but they're orange rather than black. Do you have a better side or a top (wings open) pic? One of those two might help.

Looks like the ventral view of a Gulf Fritillary.
