Normal icteritia have pronounced maroon spots on the light yellow head, this one is noticeably bad. But I'm still for ocellaris. On the rear wing, the dark area is quite well defined, on the front, at the outer edge, a series of dark dots is framed by a light line outside, which is more typical for ocellaris. The Germans have similar instances on their site. And about the difference from gilvago, they have written about a sharper tip of the wing, on straightened specimens of ocellaris, a barely noticeable concavity of the outer edge is visible, just like in this butterfly.

Yes, the variability of scoops is on the same level. I've always come across monophonic ocelaris, and they turn out to come across such spotted ones as gilvago. According to the shape of the outer edge of the wing, Ilya is right, closer to ocellaris than to zhilvago.
Here are pictures from a German site with classic ocellaris, such as poymana and zhilvago. Well, to confuse with ikteritiya in my opinion is not possible at all, just another butterfly
