I do not think it is Adelpha malea goyama. This has different markings on both forewing (additional orange spots at the apex) and hindwing (slim white stripe compared to Malea and "mirror-like" patches on the forewing from the orange spots of the dorsal side).
Might be Adelpha abia or Adelpha thessalia. But from this shot it is probably not possible to get a definite ID.
