Thanks Ashish, that's the one. Strange common name, I will never know how they come up with them for some of the butterflies I've seen.

If this is it has definitely faded... Or it could be a close species...maybe this is a staring point...

It does look like it but it looks like it has much more distinct markings and a few more of them. Could this be the same but very faded?

the Tabby (Pseudergolis wedah)
