SW France

It seems to be familiar but not quite - any ideas?

Is it a Wall Brown or just a Meadow Brown, or neither?

Speckled Wood (Parage aegeria).
We've just had the second flight here in the Pyrenees in the SW of France, finishing off the last of the fallen pears - They have two hatches & fly twice a year (March-June & July-October).
Still the odd one about, but the weather has changed and they won't be here for much longer.

Lovely photo. Where in the SW of France?

Thanks Andy

Dept 33 and not too far from 24 - and south of the Dordogne
 
Passed through the Gironde a couple of times on the way down here, though it's been a while. Lovely bit of coast and not over developed at all. Some nice lakes and wetlands to visit.
