Actinote sp., possibly A. discrepans
Maybe Actinote anteas?
Thank you, Bayucca, That is the only pic I could take of this beauty. I'll keep your suggestion as a possibility.
I think with Actinote sp. You are on the safe side. Very tricky genus. My closest guess would be Actinote discrepans. Note the single whitish spot on the base of the forewing.

But without any other shot I would not dare to confirm that for 100%.
Sorry Flying Frog, but Greta butterflies are like this one: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/834...
Very pretty. Try checking Heliconius sp, in your area. I will try looking too.
