Caligo oileus scamander
It´s a shame. It was already dead when I found it. 18 cms wingspan.
Sara, in my eyes this is Caligo oileus scamander. The broader white band is typical for Scamander. Please, compare the two nice links which looks "identical" to the one from Augusto. But I must admit, these Caligo are not easy to ID. What do you think?

There are two subspecies in Columbia, Caligo brasiliensis galba y Caligo brasiliensis morpheus, though I'm not sure which it is =\ very beautiful spotting though! =D
