Thanks for all the suggestions, I assure you it is not a butterfly. The identical specimen at: /www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/New%20Guinea%20-%20Hypochrysops%20bysos.htm was wrongly named and after contacting the webpage owner has been taken down.
Some Harlequin butterflies in Riodinidae family have such type of colours and design
My guess is Pieridae family.
I think you right Nuwan
i think they got a wrong id, it's not a Lycaenid butterfly.
I have fund this photo in another web page do you upload this spotting in some other web ?
This may help, ://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/New%20Guinea%20-%20Hypochrysops%20bysos.htm
