Dircenna olyras relata
Beautiful clearwing, looks like the Heraldica Clearwing, I spotted before but this one without the red spot at the base of the head. A different species or Male/Female?
Thank you so much bayucca, you are a good teacher.
Look at the antennae! The yellow part in yours and Olyras is much longer than in Dero. And you have too much of black "stripes" in Dero than in yours:

Thank you so much, bayucca. All this Clearwing Butterflies are not easy to ID. The spotting of the other butterfly, I was told it is a greta....FINALLY!? but I would not dare place the ID without you.
I gave not been able to ID this butterfly. I am a bit confused by the two types looking the same?! baaayuucaaa!
Thank you bayucca and Jellis, I checked and checked and checked again... I can not say if the butterfly in the picture is "Olyras Clearwing" Dircenna olyras relata or "Dero Clearwing" Dircenna dero, they both look just like the one I took a picture of.Thank you for all the help in ID'ing this beauty. What do I name it??!!
Nymphalidae, Ithomiinae, Dircenna olyras relata, the male.

Thank you Jellis, I have tried for hours, it is so difficult with the small differences between some of them and all the names. I will check the Amber Clearwing and keep on trying to ID.
The closest I can ID is also the Heraldica Clearwing Ithomia heraldica. Large bands near the top wing spots are different slightly. The other images I found that looked just like yours, online says Amber Clearwing but when did more searching, I believe they made an error on the ID since the Amber clearwing doesn't look anything like that spot.
