Mystery butterfly identified.

In an earlier post I had a picture of a butterfly I couldn't identify:
Well, Steve Wheatley tells us that is in fact a Meadow Brown, but hiding its upper wings, and probably a female. We did have a photo of a Meadow Brown with its upper wings showing, and managed to identify it, here it is again to compare to the one above:
I saw another one of these today inside our wood - the above photos were just outside it on the wayleave.
