New ID for this one: Epityches eupompe
Ashish, all you see is translucent (not transparent). It has only very small white spots in the wing border. I uploaded two new pics, I hope they help.
Need to see more pictures of this butterfly... I do not able to see exact transparent part and White band on tip of over wing. If that able see clearly I can observe easily.
Susan: Yes, they are similar, but have distinctive diferences. Ashish, you are right, of course. I hoped to ID it more specifically, but it is too difficult. Thank you both.
