I spotted this butterfly on a milkweed plant along a gravel road. I didn't want to disturb it to get it to open its wings, so only got the pic of the underside. The pattern appears to be like a monarch, but the color is very faded. Could you help with identification?

Editor's note: Yes, this is a monarch!
