Oh, this does look like a glasswing without many color scales at all. The clearwing is a papilio and not an acrea so they are from quite different butterfly groups. yours is a scarce female and the link shows they have very transparent wings. Notice the black dots on the closed cell of the forewings if you are insure of the ID. Nicely done!
