Chetone ithrana
about 2.5 in
tropical rainforest
I wasn't able to get close to this butterfly and it wasn't perched at a good angle to get it clearly focused, but it was the only shot I could get.
Thanks bayucca, I believe anything you say, if you think it's the right ID.
Erebidae, Arctiinae, Pericopini. Chetone sp., most probably Chetone ithrana.
I don't know if you believe me, since the link is self-IDed...

And it is actually a moth not a butterfly, looks really like a Heliconius-mimic Moth.
