That's true. It would be most unnatural to see one sunbathing in the field. It's not a habit that I've ever observed in all my years of watching butterflies (there was once I encountered an open-winged one though, but that's because it was in the jaws of a spider!)

Looks like there's a need to capture and study some specimens to validate this characteristic to distinguish between the two species.
