black longwing butterfly with red and white markings

Not that I can find. I'm surprised that I didn't get one by accident as these little guys rarely landed long enough for a clear shot as it was
Might also be Heliconius erato petiverana. Heliconius melpomene rosina and the Red or Small Postman can't be separated from a dorsal shot. Do you have a ventral view?
