Hyposcada virginiana
I think this is the same butterfly that I saw in the Selva Negra Cloud forest in the Matagalpa Highlands. Maybe not so unusual after all ! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/204...
Seen in bushes around the rim of Mombacha Volcano.
Nymphalidae, Danainae, Ithomiini, Hyposcada virginiana. Cannot tell you the subspecies due to the same reasons like before with Mechanitis polymnia.
It is either Hyposcada virginiana evanides or Hyposcada virginiana virginiana:
