I would be reluctant to post hypermnestra, with the obvious differences in the patternation. There are 45 species under the heading Elymnias, with no more than 3 or 4 reliably photographed.
You really don't want to post the wrong ID and mislead others, so in the meantime, I think you should name it as Elymnias sp. This would be most acceptable.
Thank you Dave and Nuwan. I think I also spotted the lighter colored ones. I will try to find the file. This one looked really darker. The first page is under a plenty late morning sunlight, taken by a 300 mm lens, and about 4 m from the object. But, it may still belong to Elymnias hypermnestra.

Fair enough. Thanks, Dave.
It certainly is a fine image from that distance.

i agree with Dave!
Elymnias hypermnestra agina common palmfly. Looks darker in color than my images, but pretty sure.
Quality images.
