I'm not sure, but Stimp's guess sounds good to me.

Seriously, I think it's a painted lady.

Maybe but the pics of the painted lady has a lot of white, and the one from my yard has no white.

Try this one
looks like what you have in the picture.

Pretty sure that is what you have. Here is some better pictures of one. (not as good as your pictures but you can see all sides)

They say she's often confused with the Eastern Comma whose range includes Oklahoma.

Afternoon - Anyone know the secret to sexing Silkies? I keep hearing that they can fool you up until the day they lay eggs or crow. I hatched this little fluff ball with some RIR a couple weeks ago. The eggs were an impulse purchase, and the silkie egg came as an extra. It's hard to get used to the black skin. Anyone want to guess if it's a pullet? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I can use a good broodie.

This chick isn't camera shy. It rushes the lens. Maybe there's a reflection.
