Butterfly Buffet ~

My hummingbird feeders were running low today and as I reached to refill this one I spotted this butterfly beauty having a sip. I searched for Internet images to identify this one and THINK it might be a "Tawny Emperor." Can anyone provide a positive ID for this one? Thanks! Here's the link of Butterfly images that I found.
