Great shot Stan, the yellows and browns contrast nicely with the red brick. Any idea on the make and model (of the butterfly)

Sorry can't help with that, was hoping some one may know what it is, there are many knowledgeable members.

I think that it's a Wall Butterfly - they get there name from the characteristic behaviour of resting with wings two-thirds open on any bare surface, including bare ground and, of course, walls!
