Thank you so much, bayucca for the ID.
I never got to see how it was on the top and I only was able to take those 2 pictures, did not expected to get it ID.

Nymphalidae, Charaxinae, Zaretis sp., sorry, cannot get closer at the moment. It is probably either Zaretis ellops or Zaretis isidora.

Thank you, catsincluded.
