Butterflies in the garden today

Another meadow brown, there were several flying in the paddock behind the garden. This one had frayed wings. I don't know if it was damaged by the heavy rain we've had this week or if it's nearing the end of its life.


I think this is a green veined white but it's markings are much less distinct than the ones that were flying in May (see pics below, click to enlarge).

It's not a large or small white, as they both have a single dark spot on the under wing, so a process of elimination suggests green veined.
