Palamedes Butterfly, I think!

That was as close as I could find, but almost seems like it could be a different kind. If you recognize it as something different, please let me know. Thanks. Sounds like it may actually be an eastern black swallowtail.

Might look at the picture of the adult female eastern black swallowtail. That may be a match. Really nice shot of the details.
