Butterfly. I don't know where this was taken, but it's a brushfooted butterfly, possibly a Red Admiral, https://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/vanessa-atalanta
(There's a range map on that linked page.)

@rhoing the photo was taken in East Peoria, IL along the banks of the river that separates East Peoria from Peoria. Thanks for the info and link.
