Thanks!
Changed the location to Mexico and added another shot. I did use a flash on this one.

Riodinidae, Hypophylla sp., male (!), either Hypophylla zeurippa or Hypophylla martia, less Hypophylla sudias, which would be more yellow/orange than red. Did you use flash? Any other picture?

Please, check your location! You wrote Mexico, but pinned it in Ecuador!
