Moth or Butterfly?

 
I wasn't sure if this was a moth or a butterfly. Looks more like a moth, but acted more like a butterfly working the flowers. This image was taken in macro mode with my 70-300mm zoom at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/200 seconds at f/8. Posted by Picasa

Hi,
Doesn't look like any UK butterfly I have come across but looks more like a moth in my eyes.
Here are two links that might be of use:
