A sign said this was an Atlantic White Cedar. This was in the Incarnation Center in Deep River, CT. The iNaturalist auto-identifier didn't suggest Atlantic White Cedar.
I've never seen them so big!
A rare and poorly studied species in CT. Found nectaring on blueberry.
Individual caught flying some distance from any white cedar bog and likely a worn female dispersing from the large Pachaug white cedar bog in the main forest to the southwest where it has been reported in the past. Quite unexpected find that has been vouchered for the Yale Peabody collection. This species has not been recorded from Pachaug for some time.

Blue headed, I think.
The white encircles the eye thickly except for the bottom corner, wing color and bars are sharply contrasted and it has yellow culottes. Hopefully it’s not too bad to tell.
Can anyone tell what it is? Yellow? Flew off before I could get out my dslr
