This is one of the few species of butterflies that flies around when it rains*, the ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus), koevinkje in Dutch. It appears to be rather possessive of the water it found (and yes, they drink water from time to time):

Here's what it looks like from above with its wings open, sitting in the rain:

Thanks for watching!

* This is actually also an inside joke. I would tell you, but it would no longer be an inside joke.
