all interspaces have circular ocelli, oceli in inter space 6 is not highly enlarged than others. This is a female Sri Lankan Treebrown. See the much broader white band on fore wing.

Actually I referred his guide. Looked like Common Treebrown from the hind wing ocelli. Can you please explain the difference?
