My guess is that it is a dark green fritillary. I know that loads of them have emerged in the last few days.
You can see some of my photos here if you are so inclined

Super shot, focus is just right and the light is lovely.
I suppose it could have done with a narrower aperture, but looking at the shutter speed that might have been tricky.

Thank you for your comments - much appreciated 
Getting the wings in focus as well was quite tricky as they were slightly open and the tips seemed to be flapping in the wind
