Big Butterfly

[dowser]

I've never seen this species of butterfly before.
It's a bit larger than a Monarch, kinda Gold markings on brown, does anyone recognize it?

Don't know his name, but they hung out in the same bush at our cabin in NC.

I found a pic, it's called a Morning cloak.
It's the biggest butterfly I've ever seen, they call medium. They must grow bigger up here.

Actually its pattern matches the Giant Swallowtail.
