Ypthima sp.
Brown butterfly that almost disappears into a pile of dry leaves. I initially thought it was a Common Five-ring butterfly and almost did not photograph it...but now I see it has 3 pairs of eyespots on the hind wings.
This is an old garden, now a sanctuary for birds. Right in the middle of the city and filled with ancient fruit trees, lichens, ferns, spiders, butterflies, moths, mushrooms...a biodiversity sanctuary!
Can some one help me take it to the species level, please?
Looks like Common Five Ring
Genus: Ypthima Hübner,
Species: baldus Fabricius,
Subspecies: newboldi Distant
