Identification of a Comma?

Since I am new to butterflies and their identification was having difficulty naming the butterfly I saw last weekend.Sent off a few photographs to BugGuide and they identified it as a Gray Comma!I then looked at my two butterfly field guides to see if I could identify it with there descriptions.Here's two links from flickr showing notes on identification from my photographs,
