thanks Prashant, I checked out the links. I think the white spot on mine is larger and further towards the wing tip, otherwise very similar. Also, the Awl seems to rest with it's wings more upright. This one's upper wings were really folded back. Remember it's in Costa Rica, not India, so of course it may be related. What do you think?
Looks like skipper of the Genus Hasoora(http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/#!/tx/277-Hasora) and closely resembles
Hasora badra or Common Owl.
Have a look at these
