Is this P. nobilitatus? Photographed today on Rubus on a roadside verge in east Sussex

This ought to be a male ... if the end of the wings are white and not just a reflection of the light.

The wing tips were a striking white colour which the image doesn't show up very well. A useful additional piece of info - thanks Crex
