Nymphalidae, Ithomiinae, Ceratinia tutia and most probably Ceratinia tutia poecila. There are at least 8 subspecies of Ceratinia tutia found in Ecuador.
probably not Poecila: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gails_pictu...

Neither of them. I think we need to go deep into the literature for this one...
