Kayaler bagan or Kayal's garden is now a bird sanctuary in the heart of Kolkata city. Although called a garden, it is not a landscaped area with only garden varieties...rather everything growing wild is preserved.Old, epiphyte laden trees rub branches with bamboo groves and wild vines trail all over . So called weeds flourish. It is also called Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary. ...a 17 acre small enclosed area.

Thanks, Jellis. That site is really very good and I sometimes do refer to it. But skippers make me cross-eyes! I will sit down with them one day...and today I have got new glasses! Thanks again.
Looks like Oriental Contiguous Swift Polytremis lubricans. Many have the pattern on the forewing but few have the pattern on the hind wing.
this is a great site. http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp/604/...
