Anglewing Butterfly?

This butterfly was photographed on an alder at Blue Sky, Hart Mt. National Antelope Refuge on July 5, 1996.

At first I thought this was an anglewing butterfly, as the lower wing surface matches that pattern somewhat, and due to the tattered wings. On closer examination, I am wondering if this is a very worn Mourning Cloak. I have seen Mourning Cloaks in the vicinity. I'd appreciate any help I can get!
