Lavinia Clearwing Butterfly

Hypoleria lavinia rhene

Description:

Beautiful clearwing butterfly, I spotted this one at the same wild forest I spotted the Patilla Clearwing, this one does not have the red spot at the base of the head is it a Greta Otto? or a different species?

Nymphalidae, Ithomiinae, Hypoleria lavinia rhene. The angulation is tricky for these clearwings.

Thank you bayucca I will not place a name until you kindly let me know what it really is!

I apologize, but I think this is not Greta morgane oto. I will check this one and gome back with an ID...

I have been wrong with the ID's of my Clearwing/Glasswing butterflies pictures. Is there anyone out there that would second this ID as Glasswinged butterfly Greta Morgane Oto?
